Pilots Union Happy With Ups Contract

The president of the Independent Pilots Association says the union’s contract settlement with United Parcel Service will be the envy of other pilots. But he’s not giving any details.

“While I’d like to say all the comparisons to all the airlines, I won’t because they would be jealous,” a smiling Capt. Bob Miller said Tuesday at a joint news conference with company officials.

Both sides said details of the six-year pact, settled with the help of federal mediators on Monday, should be released in early March after a ratification vote is held.
