About this Presentation

• Part 4 has been built to allow you to get a
  better grasp of how the new rules/concepts work.
  Generally, it will compare current rules to TAed
  rules (new rules) and to FDXs work rules.
• International duty and rest will be covered.
• Please turn up the volume of your speakers
  several narrated slides ensue to help make things
  easier to understand.
• The word pairing is used interchangeable with
  word trip.
• This is Part 4 of a multi-part presentation.

INTERNATIONAL

• Remember junior Joes, your upgrades are here.
• All others (including domestic pilots), this is
  were the increases in quality of life will also
  occur because of hiring and the natural
  association of more lines and trips to bid on as
  you climb the seniority list. Usually, no real
  growth equals no real increase in quality.
• Safety, staffing and UPS profitability are my
  concerns.
• We know UPS will take care of the profits, so
  lets focus on safety and staffing.
• Where is your focus? What are your concerns?

5
But first, a foundation and an overview.

• Usually rules creating change (impact) would
  create need for more staffing. If the rules are
  too restrictive, they dont work either. Balance
  is always the name of the game as long as it
  doesnt jeopardize safety.
• International trips (also referred to as
  pairings) will be the least affected/changed
  well, the heart of the trips will be the least
  changed.
• The heart or core of the trip in my eyes is the
  portion that you are actually operating. Its
  not the positioning or de-positioning deadhead
  portions and the associated rest afterwards.
• The heart of the trip is where issues like
  safety, health and quality of life are the most
  prevalent and important because you spend more
  days operating than you do deadheading into and
  out of theater.

• The new rules/concepts are a great start, but due
  to the anemic limits and triggers (what activates
  a rule) used within the new rules, they rarely
  increase safety or your quality of life as
  compared current schedules thus, Im not
  thrilled with the improvements.
• Dont be lured into a false sense of security
  with your current schedules as these new rules
  will not truly or fully lock-in those schedules.
  I.e. Many trips on the MD11, ONT, MIA, A300 and
  Z can deteriorate further.

• With the growth in Asia and other areas, many of
  your schedules will start to get tighter and
  tighter (optimized).
• This means what you see today may not be there
  tomorrow.
• In particular, as the network grows in Asia, the
  trips could be built more like the domestic SDF
  757.
• What may be a 7 to 14-day trip today with 2 to
  4-days of DHs, will probably get those DHs
  shaved off in the future
  thus, creating opportunity for more operating
  days for the same amount
  of credit or even less credit.
• Many of the trips that are moved from Z, MD11
  /or the ONT will do just that when an
  ANC base opens and finally starts to mature
  about a year or two after the base opens.
• More operating days compared to today's
  trips/schedules.
• Many will have less rest combined with more duty
  and legs (SDF 757-like) as the system grows in
  Asia.
• UPS is proving thats their goal with every new
  bid package as they create more
  efficient/tighter optimized
  trips lines.

How effective was each rule? How did each rule
impact/change a each bid package? Click ahead..
7
To simplify things lets break down the
rules into four categories.

• In the next several slides, well take a look at
  how these rules impacted the 0505 bid package.
• I will explain how the rules work afterwards so,
  dont worry about knowing how they work right
  now. Lets just see how the increased our
  quality of life during the heart/core of the
  trip.
• To simplify matters, lets refer to the rules as
  Ive labeled them.
• Crossing 30 versus Patterning 30,
• Crossing 15 versus Patterning 14, etc.
• NOTE
• I will NOT tally the trips that would be adjusted
  because of the rest needed due to a DH (Category
  4 to the left). Although important, they are
  not core of trip issues and there are too many
  variables that create inaccuracies.

• Grouping the New TAed Work Rules..
• Crossings
• Crossing 30
• Crossing 15
• Patterning
• Patterning 30
• Patterning 14
• Block Hours
• Block hrs gt 8
• Deadhead

• Of the 14-trips that busted because of the
  Crossing 30 rule
• 6-trips only needed 25-minutes more rest to
  become legal and it was the same FLIGHT that
  affected all 6-trips.
• 8-trips needed 150 more rest to become legal and
  it was the same FLIGHT that affected all 8-trips.
• The EXACT same flight affected ALL 14-trips.
• Simply adjust that one FLIGHT and all 14-trips
  become legal (Tweak departure/arrival times,
  etc.).
• Are these gains easy to negate by UPS with minor
  tweaks to the network now /or as the system
  grows in Asia?
• What did we give up (trade) for this rule?
• Is/are the trade(s) a good return on this
  investment?

• Of the 19-trips in Z, all of them were busted
  because of 2-FLIGHTS.

• Of the 10-trips (73) on the 747,
• 7 of them busted because of 1 FLIGHT and the
  remainder because of two other flights.

• Of ALL 23-trips on the 747,
• 13 trips had the same flight number 6991. This
  means that more than half of the 747 trips busted
  because of 1-flight and the remainder because of
  four other flights.
  Many
  trips occurred only on a single day (Eff Sep xx
  only, etc).

• Are the gains listed above (the busts) easy to
  negate by UPS with a tweaking of the network now
  /or as the system grows in Asia (fix those
  flights to avoid rules, hiring upgrades)?
• What did we give up (trade) for this rule?
• Is/are the trade(s) a good return on this

• As you can see with only 2-trips busting
  SYSTEM-wide, the Patterning rest rules 30 14
  are just gains on paper.
• What did we give up (trade) for such rules?
• Are the trades a good return on this investment?

• FDX has a minimum of 36-hrs instead of our 30-hrs
  and they have NO exceptions/loopholes
• Furthermore, The trigger that activates the
  Patterning 14 rule ( by the 4th L/O) is almost
  useless..
• A crew from Cargolux explained their rest
  requirements like this (Cargoloux is a 747
  international cargo airline)
• They require 6 X the Time Zones off during
  their layover
• Example
• EU to HKG (7-time zones) would require a min
  of 42-hrs rest in HKG (6 X 7 42).
• ANC to HKG (7-time zones) would require a min
  of 42-hrs rest in HKG (6 X 7 42).
• NOTE I do not recall their actual Intl min
  isI believe its 14-hrs again, I cant recall.

13
Getting to know your new rulesThe rules/concepts
arent that bad, but the limits, loopholes and
trigger points are they need fixed.
Knowledge is power

• Lets dig in.

14
Again, the New TAed Intl Rest Rules

• To simplify things lets break down the rules
  into 4 categories.
• Crossings
• Crossing 15
• Crossing 30
• Patterning
• Patterning 14
• Patterning 30
• Block Hours
• Block hrs gt 8
• Deadhead

15
What is a Crossing How do I count them?

• The definition of a Crossing requires you to
  exceed 4.5 time zones. If you do, then it is a
  Crossing.
• The simplest way to figure out crossings. Grab
  your IPA Calendar start counting.
• Count the time zones you touch the time zone
  you land in, but do not count the time zone you
  departed from.
• I.e. SDF to CGN is 6-time zones (click
  to see animation).

Loopholes ONT to/from HNL, HNL to/from
SYD and CGN to/from BOM are NOT crossings
Polar Crossings can create problems for this
counting system. To correct for it, always
count east to west (or west to east) even though
youre flying north/south.

Whats next?

• The next slide is a summary slide that will
  address Intl duty limits.
• Those limits will be broken down by crew
  composition
• Basic Crew (i.e. 3-crewmembers on a 727 or
  2-crewmembers on a 757)
• 1-IRO (3-crewmembers on Z -767 or MD11)
• 2-IROs
• The slides thereafter will depict tables that
  allow you a quick reference guide to compare our
  current contract limits, the new TAed limits and
  FDXs limits side-by-side.
• The first few table slides will be broken down
  step-by-step to help the viewer understand how to
  navigate read the unanimated tables.
• Please note that each table is broken down by
  crew type.
• The top of each table will give you pertinent
  information.
• I.e. Crew composition, types of AC allowed to
  be flown, and any
• exceptions to that aircraft list.
• PLEASE NOTE that the following limits ONLY
  apply to a duty period that have an operating leg
  in them.

35
Scheduled Duty Summary

• Duty and the heart of your trips
• The IPA has not decreased the length of your duty
  period unless operating more than 3-legs and that
  change is minimal in scope since NO trips were
  affected by this rule in the 0505 bid packages
  (all fleets).
• The length of duty for almost every IPA crew
  configuration (basic crew or IRO) is much more
  flexible than FDX. In other words, IPA pilots
  have been and will continue to be on duty longer
  than FDX pilots in the real world and on paper
  (in the contract).
• Basic crew -- No significant improvements in the
  new IPA/UPS rules.
• FDX pilots are on duty fewer hours than us except
  for those operating more than 3-legs, but I did
  NOT find any Intl trips with more than 3-legs.
  Although, I only have all of their May of 2003
  bid packages. The norm at FDX for those bid
  packages was 2 or less flights per duty period.
• 1-CPT 2-IROs -- No significant improvements in
  the new IPA/UPS rules UPS gets bigger gains.
• FDX pilots are on duty fewer hours than we are
  (Same FDX note above for Basic crew).
• 1-CPT 3-IROs -- No significant improvements in
  the new IPA/UPS rules UPS gets bigger gains.
• FDX pilots are on duty 15-minutes MORE than we
  are,

Summary for next few slides

• The next slide highlights some items from the
  Augmented Crew tables following it (1 and 2-IRO
  compositions).
• This was done to provide a little more detail
  about Augmented Crews.
• For what its worth, rules related to augmenting
  crews could help promote staffing and upgrades
  while extending UPS reach around the world when
  if negotiated and used correctly.
• Although, if the rules are too lenient and
  combined with extended deadhead rules, stuffers,
  turns /or used at domiciles close to their
  theater (I.e. MIA or a future ANC base) etc. they
  could reduce or wipe out staffing and upgrade
  opportunities.
• So there really has to be a good balance and
  foresight.
• The new Augmenting rules will allow UPS to reduce
  the number of crews to fly the same work.
• This will occur in MIA and reduce the need for
  some crews as compared to today.
• This will be emphasized even further when new
  bases are created. I.e. Like an ANC base.

41
Augmenting Crews (IROs)

• The IPA has given UPS the ability to use IROs on
  the A300 and any new aircraft we acquire (A380,
  747-400) in addition to the 767 and MD11. FOs
  will now be permitted to act as IROs on the MD11.
  
• FDX only permits IROs on the MD11.
• One exception exists for the Airbus, but it is
  only in one direction and for only one specific
  route Dubai to Paris NOT the other way
  around.
• Legs/Segments
• An IPA win (sort of) -- We will now count
  ground movement (other than to/from the hotel) as
  legs.
• It does not change your current schedules, but is
  a good idea to lock-in now.
• FDX does not have this, but they rarely fly more
  than two legs.
• 1-CPT 2-IROs duty period IPA chopped off two
  legs New language is a max of 3-legs.
• It does not change your current schedules, but is
  a good idea to lock-in now
• FDXs night flying restriction reduces the number
  of legs flown by a single IRO crew/duty period.
• FDX also is more restrictive with block-hour
  limits in particular, block-hours flown at
  NIGHT. Since I last spoke with them, their goal
  is to tighten that up even further.

Shaving time while creating more productivity

• Extended deadhead (18-hr duty days) into out of
  international theaters will allow UPS to get us
  into and out of theater in less time shaving 1
  to 4.5-days off a pairing based out of SDF.
• That equates to 6 to 29-hrs of credit shaved off
  a trip.
• This could be emphasized even further if new
  bases are created. I.e. Like an ANC base.
• Extended DH will probably create more actual
  flying days because UPS will still want their
  12-days of actual flying out of you. UPS will
  figure out how to add additional operating
  flights.
• This leads us to look at how to combine Extended
  DH and Stuffers that loophole the new Stuffer
  definition.
• I.e. Heres a situation that loopholes the new
  Stuffer Rule
• A trip thats 72-hrs tafb or less can be added
  to another trip on a line. This trip does not
  meet the new TAs definition of a Stuffer, its
  still a stuffer to me. Just one of a couple
  types of Stuffers we have
  no protections for.
• In other words, a 3-day trip that is separated
  by less than 2-days could be tagged onto a 7 or
  10-day trip.
• Being based in ANC /or the use of the newEXT DH
  rule usually shaves off around 12-hrs credit and
  still gets you to fly around 12 to 14-days.

45
Whats going on with MI?
46
Art 13.A.12.c. on page 170 (PDF p.165)

• After the TA was given to us, the IPA went back
  into MI and gave this (13.A.12.c) back to UPS.
• Now UPS the right to schedule us up to 4 domestic
  segments in a trip.
• This can include up to 2-legs of DH in a duty
  period.
• What about FDX???
• Their limit is 2 not 4.
• After a return to a U.S. gateway, the maximum
  legs before return to domicile is 2. (Copied
  from FDXs appendix A Initial SIG parameters)
• My notes reflect the following at FDX I adjusted
  a little to reflect our network.

• ILLEGAL to Build at FDX
• MEM based crew
• L/O in LAX after flying an intl trip
• TU.. Operate from LAX to XYZ airport
• 1-leg DH to QRS. L/O in QRS
• WE.. Operate XYZ to QRS
• Operate QRS to MEM

This trip would be legal at UPS. Substitute
MEM with SDF
47
The Numbers, Scope and Staffing

• The numbers
• 2,727 IPA members on property as of the 2-1-06
  seniority list published by UPS.
• 248 of them are 59-yrs of age or older.
• UPS has hired 276 during the last 4.5-years.

• When you really look at it, that is a net gain of
  only 28 pilots (276 248 28).

• Thats while UPS grew created record profits
• record profits when fuel prices were at record
  high levels devastating the passenger airlines
• record profits while our CEO received up to a 60
  raise Super! He deserves it.

• As you can see, those hired really only covered
  attrition and if you count those on leave for
  medical other reasons, its not even a wash
  were behind.

• FDX is hiring up to 70-pilots a month and has
  captain upgrades at the 5th year mark.
• FDX will hire more pilots in 1-year than UPS has
  in four.
• Our 4th quarter NET profit alone was over
  1-billion dollars thats almost more than FDX
  made in an ENTIRE year. until recently.
• FDX is just now exceeding 1-billion dollars for
  the entire year while
  UPS makes approximately 1-billion dollars EACH
  QUARTER.

48
Rigs and FDX

• FDX has proposed the same and/or better rigs than
  what we have attained here at UPS.
• Some will try and use their trip rig and its
  application as rational to why we havent
  achieved FDX parity in many areas. Again, we are
  comparing ourselves to
  FDXs very 1st contract.
• What these same people fail to explain is that
  FDX pilots also have more control over their
  lines. So if we are going to allow UPS the less
  attractive parts of FDXs 1st contract, maybe we
  should also get the other parts like
• 100 commercial tickets domestic and
  international.
• Pilot control of Line Construction/building
  TOTALLY different than how we do things.
• 313-hr TAFB construction limitpseudo-hard cap
  (83.5-hrs Dom Intl vs UPS 86 89.6-hrs)
• 8.5-hr line leveler the highest credit line
  cannot be greater than the lowest credit line by
  more than 8.5-hrs. i.e. 68 8.5 76.5-hrs
  This another pseudo-hard cap.
• Management pays for union scheduling involvement.
  
• 100 of their ACPs are union pilots
