UPS Pilot, what would you like to know?

[Lineandinitial]

There was a Boeing brochure with the 747 and 777 in UPS colors at one point. 777BCFs would be a bit cheaper and a known commodity, we shall see...

Feedstock issues.
In a few years, there will be a glut of BCF’, BDSF’s, MF’s and others that may in the conversion game.

You got me mixed up with your lying, stealing brethren. Now don’t ya, paddy? Wait…we’re both from the same stock, my Irish brother.

Yes we have a master seniority list. Right now we have 3,177 pilots on it, but that number will be shrinking as retirements occur while we are not actively hiring. I'm about in the top third of the list. Our most senior pilots were hired in 1988 and our most junior ones were hired in early 2023. We also have about a hundred management pilots, who of course are not on the seniority list.

What’s the relationship like with the MP?

Yes I agree. CargoJet gave theirs back and too much capacity currently. Should be a good time to buy.

Day to day not too bad. You get to know a lot of them and they're just doign their job, although we have been arguing that many of those jobs should be ours.

What’s the protocol for flying in dangerous areas specifically active war zones? Pilot discretion? Volunteers? Air service in Ukraine and Russia was only suspended after the invasion but there has been the civil conflict for the past decade. What about a current situation like flying into Israel or over the Persian Gulf?

Uhh, don’t fly there? No NDA for you!

Sometimes the same but usually we sit a sort and change planes. Most of our folks are pretty good about keeping the cockpit clean. It's not a huge space so a mess would not be welcome plus I can see who flew the plane last from our maintenance logbook.

Do the different planes all have the same feel, fly the same?
