It seems very fishy to me, as you said UPS is certainly not doing too bad.

I agree...fishy at the very least. It doesn't seem very ethical to pick and choose which labor groups (in this case, pilots) are going to pay for the company's so called tough times. I don't know a thing about labor law, but it seems to me that these tactics would be illegal. I believe that management ought to be required to prove that they've exhausted all other options before using the furlough. And when that furlough comes, it should be distributed throughout the labor groups.
