Article 13B -- Domestic This will also affect
International staffing upgrades B is line
construction (how your line will look like),
while 13A is TRIP building

• We will focus on how the major rules affect how
  your line is built.
• The type of lines that can be built.
• The credit allowed on your line -- Hard Cap (Line
  Construction Cap)
• Comparisons to ABX and FDX.
• The affect to hiring.staffing and upgrades
  (quality of life issues).
• Something to keep tucked away through all of
  this
• How many times have we heard The lines looked
  great, but it was actually a killer.
• With that said, rules that govern how a TRIP is
  built (13A) are also available to be viewed at
  http//IPAonTop.org
• 13A relates to daily activities Duty, Rest,
  Legs, Block, Circadian, etc.

Domestic Line Building

• There are only 4 combinations of domestic lines
  that can be built.
• Anything goes flying You can work up to every
  week mixed with day night mixed
• with day Turns and/or night Turns. These are
  your Base Trip Lines
• Night flying with 4 trips or less per bid period.
  These are your EDW lines.
• Day ONLY flying up to every week per bid period.
  These are your Non-EDW lines.
• Pure Turn lines -- Pure day or pure Night.

4
Domestic Line Building

• The following is in reference to
• Anything goes flying You can work up to every
  week mixed with day night mixed
• with day Turns and/or night Turns. These are
  your Base Trip Lines
• 50 of the lines can work up to 3-weeks per pay
  period (Long Block of days off)
• 50 of the lines can work up to 4-weeks per pay
  period (Short Block of days off)
• Notice that it can be broken down into short
  and long blocks of days off.
• The next slide will expand upon this and provide
  actual TA references.

20 of all your lines may be built in this manner
5
13.B.b.2.d.5. (p.20 PDF p.171) BASE Trip Lines
MAX of 20 of the TOTAL flying lines may be Base
Trip Lines Base Trip Lines are a mix of
everything day night flying trips /or turns
can fly every week per PPD. Thus, 20-lines fall
under this rule.
50 min of those lines can be built 3-weeks per
PPD
50 max can be built up to 4-weeks per PPD
13.B.b.2.d.2. (p.20 PDF p.171)
13.B.b.2.d.2.

• 10-lines (50 min of 20)
• Must meet Long-Block limits
• Option 1
• 1-block of 6-days off
• AND
• 1-block of 4-off
• OR
• Option 2
• 1-block of 9-off
• UPS can build 3-weeks of flying per PPD (Similar
  to todays flying).

• 10-lines (50 max of 20)
• Must meet Short-Block limits
• 2-blocks of 3-days off
• AND
• 1-block of 4-off
• UPS can build up to 4-weeks of flying per PPD
  (similar to MIAs flying).

RELAX a bid line example will follow after this
slide.

• Day night flying trips are allowed to be
  mixed if they are scheduled w/30-hrs off in
  between
• or as long as rest/time in between trips is at
  least 18-hrs,
• but only if the last DP of the preceding trip is
  less than 6-hrs of duty.

13.B.b.2.d.3.

Examples of what can be built (previous slide
examples).

• This is what can be built under the new rules
  20 of the TOTAL flying lines can look like this.
• The trips on these lines can be both day and
  night flying they can be mixed with Turns and
  can fly up to 8 weeks straight.
• Substitute any layover city because the network
  is changing the new rules allow UPS to omit
  city purity.
• NOTE Sunday commercials are NOT mandatory and
  with a change in the network, you may see flying
  on days that you normally dont see now /or even
  time periods not seen now. In other words, a two
  day weekend may be something of the past in
  upcoming years a third sort in a 24-hr period
  is possible.

7
Let me emphasize this note
NOTE Sunday commercials are NOT mandatory
and with a change in the network, you may see
flying on days that you normally dont see now
/or even time periods not seen now. In other
words, a two day weekend may be something of the
past in upcoming years a third sort in a 24-hr
period is possible.

• With the implementation of the Postal contract,
  MENLO, and other new flying, we may see an
  increase of OPERATING flights on the weekend. In
  the future under this updated network, this could
  create a large reduction of non-operating duty
  periods to get you into position (CML DHs).

• Therefore, it is not too far fetched to see that
  we could see trips built that start late in the
  week and only rest on one of the two days during
  the weekend or even DH. and then operate to
  midweek.
• Example
• Saturday Operate UPS AC out of (from) base
• Sunday Layover or maybe even DH to pick up the
  trip elsewhere.
• Monday Operate UPS AC
• Tuesday Operate UPS AC
• Wednesday Operate UPS AC back to base. (This
  could have also ended on Tue instead of Wed,
  etc.)

• This can eliminate a lot of commercial DHs and
  much of this flying can be built without city
  purity. New type of stuffers can be produced
  and used.

• Could all this new flying finally create a 3rd
  sort in a 24-hr period? Instead of the AM and PM
  sort seen today, a third sort may present itself
  to dramatically change things further.
• NOT thinking outside the box hurt us during the
  last contract with the introduction of the
  Teamster Team Driver. It eliminating the last
  sort of the week from us (reduction in flying)
  created havoc for our schedules. This new flying
  could do the same thing.
• Do our rules take this into account?
  Something to think about.

8
What about the remainder of those domestic night
flying lines?

• We started out with 100-lines of which 20 were
  built as Base Trip Lines (anything goes lines)
• That leaves us with 80-lines that contain either
  night flying or day flying.
• Lets say that 70 of those lines contain ONLY
  night flying.
• The next two slides represent what could be
  Week-On/Week-Off flying.

9
Domestic Line Building
This is from slide 3. IGNORE the embossed

• There are only 4 combinations of domestic lines
  that can be built.
• Anything goes flying You can work up to every
  week mixed with day night mixed with day
  and/or night Turns. These are your Base Trip
  Lines
• Night flying with 4 trips or less per bid period.
  These are your EDW lines.
• a. A minimum shall have at least 5-days off
  in between (week-on/week-off)
• b. Therefore the remaining 25 (the max) may
  use hours instead of days to separate
• them
• Day ONLY flying up to every week per bid period.
  These are your Non-EDW lines.
• Pure Turn lines -- Pure day or pure Night.

Lets focus on bullet 2 The next slide provides
actual TA language. The slide thereafter breaks
it down for you further
10
TA language
Article 13.B.2.c. pages 19 20 (PDF pages 170
171)

• The text in the red box is what creates week-on
  week-off flying for 75 of these type of lines.
  Well actually 4-trips or less per BID period.
  There is a difference.

• Again, when you see EDW, think NDA trips/lines.

11
Again 70 lines are pure night flying. Thus, the
following rules apply to those 70-lines.
The remainder 25.. can be 2-weeks in-a-row
followed by 2-weeks off then repeat itself.
75 of those lines will be week-on/week-off
13.B.2.c. page 19 (PDF p171)

• 52.5-lines (75
  min of 70)
• Must have at least 5-days off in between
  trips.
• Max of 4-trips per Bid Period

So out of 90-lines that have night flying in
them, a min of 52.5 will be as close to true
Week-On/Week-Off flying as well get. Thats
really only around of 58.3..... Not the TA
language of 100. Not 85 as the 7/3/06 Flight
Times article or road shows have advertised
will be week-on/off. Based on 100 total
layover lines (no turns, etc), it drops to
46.4... True week-on/week-off
Although if you count the other lines noted above
to the right (17.5-lines the inferred 25),
it does raise it to 70 of ALL lines (in this
example) will fly 4-trips or less per BP
(Excludes reserves and hot standby) ADD Turns
back into the bid package (lets say 20-turns)
and the OVERALL number of lines w/4-trips or
less in a BP drops back down to 58.3.
12
How DHL handles a 28-day periodand
week-on/week-off flying
DHLs Section 25.C.1.c on page 90
This means that all known flying is basically
week-on/week-off type of flying.
13
Heres a quick cheat sheet on what line building
in 13B should produce for 3 of those 4
combination of lines
Simple math and lines

• Anything goes flying You can work up to every
  week mixed with day night mixed with day
  Turns and/or night Turns. These are your Base
  Trip Lines
• Night ONLY flying with 4 trips or less per bid
  period These are your EDW Lines.
• Day ONLY flying up to every week per bid period.
  These are your Non-EDW lines.
• Pure Turn lines -- Pure day or pure Night (THESE
  ARE NOT SHOWN).

Well use a simple 100 layover lines for the math
14
100 LAYOVER lines both day and night. NO turns,
Hots, etc.
Day ONLY flying
90 lines (Hypothetical)
10 NON-edw lines (Hypothetical) Max of 15-trips
in a Bid Period
20 max
80 min
18 Base Trip Lines (20 of 90 18) Mix of
everything
72 lines with 4 or less trips (80 of 90
72) Night ONLY flying
9-lines
60 min

50 SHORT block of days-off (4-wks of flying/PPD)
75 min
25 max

18-lines
Week-on/off

• Mix of everything in Base Trip Lines
• This is a mix of just that everything.
• Day with night (possibly with ONLY 18-hrs off in
  between)
• Turns (day /or night)

15
Another item that affect our lines

• Hard Cap (AKA Construction Cap)

16
Pseudo Hard Caps at FDX
FDX section 25.D1.b on page 166 of PDF document

• FDX uses a TAFB limit as one of their pseudo Hard
  Cap rules.
• 313-hrs divided by our trip rig equals 83.5-hrs
  per 4-week pay period domestic or international
• UPS hard cap is 86-hrs domestic and 89.6-hrs
  Internationally. 15-day trips can still be
  built.
• Another rule a FDX that is used as a pseudo hard
  cap requires that the highest credit line cannot
  exceed 8.5-hrs greater than the lowest credit
  line. (See FDX Sec 25.D.1.b. page 167 of their
  PDF doc)
• I.e. If 68-hrs was there lowest credit line,
  then the highest credit line cannot be greater
  than 76.5-hrs.
• We did not acquire either.

• Both would have helped promote hiring and
  upgrades like at FDX. Quality of life issues?
• Maybe thats why they have pilots hired in 2001
  becoming captains. That pilot will make roughly
  250,000 more before one of our pilots hired the
  same year (upgrade at UPS based on historical
  data. It takes 10-yrs to upgrade). That is
  another quality of life issue.

17
The New Lines and Hiring

• Just because we added new lines to a bid package,
  it doesnt mean we have to hire.
• As our negotiating committee chairman said on the
  back page of the 07-03-06 IPA Flight times
  Well, there is no doubt that the Company has
  received gains that cost us bodies in certain
  areas. Among these are extended deadheads into
  theater, moving summer vacations out to the
  shoulders of the summer months to reduce their
  needs for crews in the Summer Peak, increased
  reserve flexibility. Especially in bases like MIA
  where B reserves are currently almost useless to
  them, and the use of first officers as IROs on
  the MD-11. There are more.
• These reductions will reduce the number of pilots
  needed. Instead of furloughing these pilots, UPS
  will use them to fill the extra lines created.
  Therefore it will also reduce the number of
  pilots that UPS has to hire.
• As an aside, did you know that FDX pilots build
  their lines and NOT management?
• Management build the trips.
• Click ahead to see how these extra pilots (gains
  that cost us bodies) are used to offset IPA
  gains.

18
Example
100-lines total
60 Hard Lines
40 Reserve Lines

• With the new rules, lets say we increase the
  number of Hard Lines by 10-lines.
  That would be a 10 increase to
  the overall number of Hard Lines 10 more crews
  right?
• Click ahead/advance the slide

10 NEW Lines
60 Hard Lines
40 Reserve Lines

• Thats 110-lines, BUT with the new rules,
  including but not limited to reserve, UPS can now
  reduce the number of reserve lines. Reserves
  will be MORE productive (fly more) and dependable
  in the future and UPS will be able to reduce that
  number if they want to.
  Thats why UPS wanted and/or agreed to the
  reserve language we see in our TA today.

• This means that UPS can increase the number of
  Hard Lines and reduce (the x above) the number
  of reserve Lines to end up with the same
  100-lines we started with.
  Thus, NO Hiring. or at least
  reduced/slow hiring.

10 NEW Lines
60 Hard Lines
30 Rsrv Lines
100-lines total
19
In the new lines being built for this TA

• Please keep in mind that UPS has continued to
  grow since 9/11. UPS has stated upwards of 12
  in their magazine.
• They also havent hired very many pilots these
  last several years. In fact, theyve only hired
  enough to really cover attrition, maybe added
  about 50-pilots (28 based on the info below).
• 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
  (based on 2-1-06 sr list).
• 276 248 28

• This means that they are optimizing your
  schedules (more work per pilot). Therefore any
  change to TODAYs schedules will present a
  positive change. Make the changes look better
  than they really are.

• I would scrutinize the bid packages with the
  thoughts of
• Is this the worst case scenario?
• Will the new flying (Postal contract, MENLO,
  etc.) dramatically change our network and how we
  fly today as compared to this rebuilt TA bid
  package?
• How much flying will be moved/migrate from SDF
  (Z, MD11, 747) and ONT to an ANC base?
• Where are the loopholes that mitigate what we are
  being presented as a sample bid package?
• Are we only getting back to what UPS scheduled
  several years ago?
• UPS is not as ignorant as many of you think,
  theyve been negotiating for almost 100-years.
• They havent hired much so they could optimize
  our schedules and then have us compare those
  schedules to something that really on gets us
  back to how UPS scheduled in 2000 maybe 2003.
• It is kind of like a prisoner asking for pillow
  over a period of 4-years.
  
  Finally a brick is given to him.
  He thanks them for the lovely pillow and
  means it.

19
20
Less Days on Duty?

• The IPA is proud to announce we have to work one
  less day on average in a 56-day Bid Period.
• Current bid packages have data readily available
  for us to see if this does anything, just look at
  
• pages 3 or 4. For ease of reading UPS uses per
  pay period in their data, BUT by contract and
  past practice it is solely based upon per BID
  PERIOD Meaning that you can exceed the prorated
  13.5-days per 28-day PPD. This practice has not
  changed under the new TA rules.
• Either way, youll notice that we already meet
  this new language. The MD11 is the exception
  under their optimized schedules, lack of staffing
  and growth. It has 27.2 avg days in a Bid
  Period.
• In other words, dont expect more days off.
  Furthermore, you should be aware that the
  language being announced as a gain is really only
  a gain on paper. It doesnt do anything for you
  in the real world. These are the gains we have
  to look for and scrutinize.
• What did we trade/give-away for this?

Art 13.B.1.c(1) on page 16 (PDF p.167)
period.

• The bid packages break this down per pay period
  thus, for comparison think a max of 13.5 duty
  days in a pay period. Click ahead to see an
  excerpt from our actual bid package.

2005 2006 Averages are already less than 13.5.
