[QUOTE="Captbrown, post: 75564, member: 4640"] Dannyboy, [SIZE=2]Please dont allow management to get of the hook for the failures of this peak by blaming the pilots. That is way too easy and nothing will get done to better prepare for next year. Just a few facts from someone who was there: [LIST=1] [*]If the aircraft you were waiting for was down for maintenance, it was just that. We dont break aircraft and we dont any input into the decision on how it will be fixed. That decision is between UPS maintenance and the FAA. [*]Volume was extremely heavy on the air side this peak, 90% of the flights I flew were late due to loading. I know of no other pilot who purposely tried to be late. [*]Jumpseaters on UPS aircraft ride with the approval of the captain not UPS. This authority is granted from the FAA not the company. We have already had one captain fired for refusing jumpseaters, needless to say he was reinstated a week later with full pay.[/LIST] I hope this help clear up any confusion. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
