[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 72501"] Out of curiousity, why would a package car driver make any more than a pizza delivery guy? All they're doing is delivering door-to-door. Why would a feeder driver make more than a bus driver? The bus driver is actually carrying people and not boxes. The previous questions were out of jest, however reading some of the posts regarding the pilot's contract the same logic used above is being used by many here towards the pilots. I'm not a manager, teamster, or a pilot, but I've often wondered if the teamsters would stand behind the pilots as they did for them in 97. Comparing UPS pilots to the passenger industry is comparing apples to oranges. Like it or not they're highest trained and educated employees per capita within the company, top managers included. What if in 97 the pilots said "You want how much for unskilled labor?" and "Why should the drivers make more than a taxi driver when they actually deliver people and work longer hours?" Not one pilot crossed the teamster's line, not one. UPS is the best and employes the best. Every union member needs to remember that solidarity forges they're future. Don't ever sell yourself short or another class and craft. [/QUOTE]
