PRETTY SAD!​

Good quote, but I'm not getting any younger. On last week's message, Local 2727 said they would update their message on voting for a release. A week goes by and this week's message tells nothing about a release. We now have an embarrassment, get back to negotiations and quit stalling. Enough of the big talk and get us a contract!!! It's obvious you aren't getting a release, even the company can see that by now!

UPS Mechanics will seek freedom to strike:

If the IBT, our own union, will not back the release, what will the company have to negotiate about? They can come back & offer less. The cards have been played with out the backing. Thet IBT will find out what this has all been about in 2013.

I think you obsession with Aircraft mechanics has sent you over the edge. Its not to late to join the ranks UPSSOCKS...tons of money, 401k, 8wks vacation, 3/13 schedule and free health insurance! Quit hating and step into the light.

 

[airbusfxr]

Dont forget 401k match. The 8 weeks vac is nice also. Best thing is just sit and watch TV or surf internet, right UPSSUCKS?

[airbusfxr]

Could be in Oct when Joe shows up. Could be Aug, just like '97.

Cargo airlines are posting 1st quarter profits, some for the first time in 8 yrs. Freight is up all over the world & climbing, Asia is up 42% alone. UPS, (The largest) is cutting back & laying off. ???

DOLdwg did you see this last night on the local news?

 

[dilligaf]

Still buying new Boeings, not enough flights, to many pilots................................ something doesn't add up here.

 

[unionman]

I think it will fall to 60 in the near future.

UPS


UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC
Last [Tick]$59.695[+]Make that 50 very soon.

A company that furloughs pilots and says we are doing it recession or not, is a company that is shooting from the hip. UPS is losing business to show who is boss to it's own employees. They cancelled 6, 747 military charters for June, stating that they don't have the pilots to cover the flights? Who is making these decisions and why are they still here? You can't make money by turning down business!!!

They are leaving freight behind in California and in China at the customers expense. They are still looking to consolidate more even if it means losing customers just to prove some moronic point.
Are these the same buffoons that put those new engines on the 727s with heads up displays just because they didn't want to buy FedEx's hush kits? One became a glider going into ORD, only to be saved by our highly skilled pilots.

$1m for each eng. = $3m per aircraft..... I believe... Aircraft 906UP. Not to mention the grapes it took to test hop it during troubleshooting.
