[QUOTE="markbell, post: 53993"] One last thing. UPS pilots cannot be replaced overnight as some have suggested. Even though a 757 pilot at Delta can fly a 757 at UPS, the FAA requires that each crewmember at a new carrier go through an intensive training program regardless of previous experience. This would take several months to accomplish at best. Billions of dollars would be lost. Nobody said you could be replaced overnight. You can certainly be replaced and the rest can be contracted. The savings over eight years or so including savings associated with flying fewer planes, less fuel, fewer mechanics, and fewer drivers would more than pay for replacing you. And no, you dont work close to 40 hours. Closer to 20 than 40. Being paid 80 is probably pretty accurate. Sorry, being away from home doesnt constitute work. Youre overcompensated for what you do already. I could staff an air operation for ~0.66 of your current compensation. Extending your current contract wouldnt be acceptable to me. Furthermore, the IPA has gone out of its way to be surly and combative several times now. I think you overestimate your value and importance. Putting you on the street unemployed and unemployable is more important to me than reaching an agreement or a disruption in service or shutting the entire company down, if it comes to that. [/QUOTE]
