[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 762701, member: 4932"] Dude, don't forget two things: 1) A change in FAA retirement rules in 2007 kept about 200 pilots on the payroll that were supposed to retire. Since older pilots generally equal high seniority pilots equals HIGHER PAID PILOTS, I'm sure UPS would have rather had 200 younger pilots working instead of these guys. 2) Volume is still down, -AND- more work has been consolidated into Louisville because of Worldport. This reduces the block hours needed to move the packages because of the resulting efficiency of the airfeed network. I think UPS was trying to work this out in good faith, but the numbers just wouldn't jell because of those two factors. [/QUOTE]
