Most of the young ones are gone or are going soon. Those with just a few years left (like me) are wise just to gut it out. The 40 year old guys/gals are the ones who have a tough choice to make.

It is not all roses at UPS or any other carrier for that matter. I know a striking Eastern pilot who quit UPS in 89 or 90 time frame over an argument about carrying coffee on a night time PHL ramp. I retired from a major carrier and opted for a life change in Dubai. I was later hired by UPS in the summer of 2007 to go fly the 400 in Anchorage. I would have started in early Dec. 2007 only to be furloughed at the height of the GFC in Jan. 2009. As much as I wanted to go to UPS I stuck it out and it turned out to be the right choice, as of today. Timing is everything.
