I had posted this GE .KML that I created a while back but here it is again. It shows the locations of major UPS domestic air facilities.
Some amazing photos... I have the PHL ATC recording for this flight if interested. IMO UPS pilots earn every dime! http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2006/Phil...aPA/agenda.htm
Merry Christmas!!  |

My brother is a 25 year diesel mechanic. Had a few specific questions that I couldn't answer. Maybe one of you guys could. First, what is the pay scale for the UPS Airline mechanics? Second, how does the pay compare for UPS pilots to say United or American or Fedex, etc....And third, how many hours can a UPS pilot work per week? Thanks alot guys, thanks for any help you provide./ | |

As a passenger on a flight I would recommend you check the baggage tag that the porter or agent puts on your luggage. Make sure the final destination has the designation of the airport you are flying to. The main reason for lost luggage besides cancelled, late, or changed flights is having the wrong info on the baggage tag.
If you are not sure of the designation - check your ticket or ask the agent or porter for the 3 letter designation for your destination. | |

What's a P-71 Mustang? | |
