If the pilots strike, it won’t matter. There won’t be any freight at the stations for couriers to cross the line over.

At least they won’t have to worry about retention pay.

With them....it's all about them.....Can any of you guys remember the last time the ALPA offered anything more than lip service in behalf of the people on the ground?

UPS pilots worked without a contract for a long time. When we were on strike in 97 the pilots walked the picket line with us
in support.

ALPA has never offered anything whatsoever on behalf of people on the ground.

Why would they do that? They work for UPS.

ALPA does not represent people who choose to trust fast Freddy.

Fred could have paid a fair wage across the board, but he didn’t. I’m sure he’s used Wall Street as a scapegoat.

Funny how after the pilots became certified with ALPA in 1993, that’s when the wage progression slowed way down for DGO staff especially for midrange employees and below. Coincidence? I think not.

have no idea. i don't work for them. just my experience with UPS pilots.
All the pilots I have ever met were very professional......except they didnt make sure the cargo was secured in the movie Castaway. Probably not their job to do that anyway.

Not even a strike, they're picketing on their off day. This is more of a public protest. They're still working and Raj will throw them some peanuts to shut them up. Rinse and repeat

Pilots don’t work for peanuts only drivers.
