Gonna get ugly...

ATLANTA, May 28, 2008 - UPS today announced it will work with DHL Express U.S. toward an agreement to provide transportation in its air network for all of DHL's express, deferred and international package volume within the United States. UPS also would provide air lift for DHL packages between the United States, Canada and Mexico. If the agreement is finalized, it could mean a loss of pilot jobs at Astar and ABX Air.

Even the Cargo world is scrambling for position... Here we are have excess/displacement bids to move folks down to the lowest paying seat to avoid furlough... But why we are overmanned is a long story and can be read all about on APC (Airline Pilot Central) and really doesn't have any relavance to this board... GAS PRICES ARE KICKING EVERYBODIES ASS ON THE OUTSIDE!

Sorry this is not timely; I tried to post this a while back but the board was down and then I had a couple of trips and then I finally remembered..:eek:

But where's Big Al's Pizza & Jets ??? I heard they were hiring ... ??? :D

Over in the Private Contractor's thread :icon_wink

Seems even though the data is only a few weeks old.. A few things have already changed:

-Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America are not hiring and are not interviewing until new classes are planned. Pool is full.
-Trans States just furloughed 45 pilots.
-Kalitta Charters II is NOT actively hiring pilots.

NOTE: I got all this info from ProPilotWorld (which I am told is similar to what AirInc is putting out); Just gives a general snapshot of what was going on last month .. Good luck to all those about to jump in the water!

Anyone else think we'll see at least one of the major airlines die off within a year? My bet is on United.

US Airways, or whatever they are now.
If either of those two go down (and anything's possible) .... the resultant dumping of experienced, qualified pilots onto the street and into the airline "marketplace" will mean the chances for anyone outside of the industry acquiring a new-hire spot for the next 5+ years will go down exponentially.

It's happened before ... think the '70's.

2 of my peers are furloughed United pilots and one of them says the same thing. He was looking forward to going back when things were looking up for them not too long ago; now even his seniority over about a thousand pilots won't save him as United shelves 100 aircraft.

What makes the current UAL predicament even more amazing is 8 years ago we were ALL looking to the then-new UAL Pilot contract as THE template for our own upcoming contract negotiations. It was full of pay, benefits, and lifestyle improvements ... included were things like moving up to @ $320K/year for flying left window seat in the WHALE .... and then came 9/11 and the industry has never been the same. :(
