| Re: AMF Roll Call The UPS supervisor the first day I was in OKC, " Sir you do recognize that you are 10 minutes late". Me "With this being my first time doing this run and there being forty knot headwinds, I sincerely apologize for that." That first week up there was a rough one dealing with UPS. I wonder do give there own pilots so much grief. I wanted to ask them did they ask their own pilots did they recognize that they were over two hours late?  |

| Re: AMF Roll Call
The UPS people here are good about not complaining when I cant take it all... But dealing with the integrated package loaders on the UPS ramp.. Oh..My..God. Leader dude: "So uhh are you going to make us weigh each bay or can we just throw it on there?" Me: "Has any AMF pilot ever let you do that?" Leader dude: "Oh yea, they all do" Me: *Stares at him* Me: *Stares at him* Leader dude: "well ok no but does it matter?" 10 min later.... Me: "NO! ....TAKE THAT BOX.....YES THAT ONE, PUT IT ON THE SCALE. 2 seconds later Me: "WTF R U DOING? What bay are we loading? So why did you put that 100lb box in the tail? Him: "What do you mean?" Me: Oh. My. God. RETARDED 10 min later... Me: Umm...Why does the scale say 1400? Them: "Eh?" Me: Did you rezero the scale before you started the next bay? Them: "I like to eat glue" Me: "Okay, unload it all....everything. Start over."

"I wonder do give there own pilots so much grief. I wanted to ask them did they ask their own pilots did they recognize that they were over two hours late?" Sort of. Yes and no. All I can say is THANK GAWD for the IPA. I guess when the big brown airplanes are late, the local supe's know about it already. When the feeders are late, they probably have to check a square somewhere as to why. But, if I'm ever late and it's MY fault, or the blame could have been pushed onto me, I know I'll be getting a phone call to explain what happens. "Crap happens" (sounds better with the S word)" just doesn't cut it as an excuse at UPS. What really seems weird to me is, if your late out, but on time in, they still freak out. Seems like getting the boxes there on time should be the main thing.

| Re: AMF Roll Call Quote:
 My personal favorite is when the loaders in the plane tell the ones at the scale to stop weighing for a minute so they can see if what they have stacked in the door will fit into the bay. The bright sparks on the other end of the belt loader then proceed to scale out several hundred more pounds of stuff and send it up on the belt anyways, only to find the loaders can't fit any of it in that bay. If you don't catch them in the act, half the time they'll throw it in the next bay and tell you it's on the one ahead of it. I haven't been on their ramp in a month, and I sure don't miss it. I love DHL. No stupid yellow ramp prophylactics (and no rampers doing 60 on the tugs), no ######bag "supervisors," don't have to be marshaled to walk around, I can sit inside while they load me, and they fax my hazmat form so I don't have to call it in and spell out all those 16 letter words. When I come out, the belt loader is gone, the GPU is hooked up, the airplane is fueled (usually), and the manifest is ready complete with bay weights. | |

In a year of flying that thing, we had to bump all of about 2 boxes for weight issues. And that was a shipment of liquid (dense!) Every other time it was because the freight just plain wouldn't fit.

Amazing how streamlined UPS is system-wide... The only ones we have in Dallas are of the orange construction worker style. And apparently it's OK in SLC to not wear a vest within like 5 feet of the plane, but in DFW you better have it on when you put one foot down the airstair or "Go Go Gadget Spring Shoes" Supervisor Nazi will flip his lid.

"Just last week one of the managers told me that I needed to get a yellow reflective vest" You can have mine. I'll say I lost it. I was doing hot RFD once, was heading out to do the preflight, and an office guy told me I'd need to wear my vest (he was nice about it and offered his if I didn't have one). Guess it's an item of concern at the RFD gateway. Everywhere else, I leave it in my flight bag unless I think management is looking. My little way of sticking it to the man.... I know I've been on the DFW ramp several times without it and nobody said anything.

Yeah, the new exemption allows you to take Zero Fuel Weight minus BOW. We have the lightest 120's here in DFW and the most I've been able to carry would be around 8047 lbs. It's not too big of a deal either. Only difference is having to get the dispatch release. We definitely need it on Midland, being the heaviest TX run. But because of the long distance of the flight and lack of close alternates, anything less than a calm clear day will restrict us to well below 8100 lbs due to fuel. And of course UPS can't seem to figure out why we need fuel...
