Try under $80M a copy.

If UPS could get a 747 for 80 mil they'd buy way more than 14.

You don't know what you are talking about.

LOL… actually I do!
Understand what you’re reading “Worth” is not what was paid.
Since I’m in the department that selects, purchases & operates those airplanes, I know for a fact what we paid for each and every conceivable discounts we were given.

PLUS!!! You cited 1997 and the -8’s were not even being manufactured then.

Try to keep your BS straight.

He seemed to be referring to the -400’s we got for $83M each.
The -8’s were about $105M
There’s about a 15 year span between orders.

I see no way UPS could have got 747's for $100m. They're $400m planes. That would be some discount.

LOL… no they are not.
Boeing lists a 777-300ER around $300M. No one pays that.
A 747-8F lists around $250M, with 4 engines and less range, but more payload.
No one pays $250M for a -8.
We get huge discounts for a bunch of reasons.

3% unemployment rate. Pretty sure every able body person is working. What you mean is no one wants to work PT at UPS for $20/hr.

Thanks, Joe.

List price for a 747-8f is $419M

Maybe they got a good trade-in value for their old planes?

Sure. Another armchair expert.
I think there’s too many zeros for you spirt.
Do you know what A20WE is?

Didn’t think so….
Get back to the truck and work on your contract strategy…

There’s a discount for fleet size, component purchase/repair costs, AHM, MPTB, Analytx, company founded in Seattle, Century+, etc., etc…
But, ask a preloader / driver that reads Google… LOL

Get back to the truck

My, my, we are quite full of ourselves aren't we.

Don't worry about judgement day. You are far to important to think about that. Always be humble and kind, right?

Are you intentionally demonstrating passive-aggressive “behavior”?

Unhappy with our own choices are we? (It’s showing).

Absolutely unhappy for all the times I looked down my nose at anyone over my lifetime. I have been guilty of that too many times to count. Mea Culpa.

Am I unhappy about choosing good, honest, hard work as a career? Absolutely not.
The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall.

When you finally realize you have precious little time left on earth, you will understand.

A little off the deep end junior?
There are many ways to interpret written words.
If you have a chip on your shoulder, you take the path you have.
I can’t help you sport. You made your choice.

Look, sometimes you’re wrong about a subject, such as the one you have a hard on about.
Just say “ok, and let it go”.
You go off like a hurt little girl.
Grow up.

Why would anyone want to work for UPS? In my area Pepsi is hiring inside warehouse workers at the same rate UPS is starting drivers. No DOT physical. No road test. No dealing with the weather.

I like driving for work, but it’s not really making sense now.

What are Pepsi’s benefits like tho?

Airports have some of the highest arrogance, per Capita, of pretty much anywhere.

I was probally working at UPS when you were in diapers, hired before the great Ronald Reagan was president.

I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. I didn't check the date of this article being posted, so my error.

But you routinely make comments about drivers that are disrespectful of thier dignity...As if they are lower than you somehow. That is what I have a problem with. I have dealt with many UPS managers over the years who have the same attitude.

I am honestly trying to help you before it is to late for you.

You’re completely full of .
I don’t “routinely make comments about drivers that are disrespectful of (sic) thier dignity”.
You sound like a little fairy snowflake. Go your self.

The (sic) should go after the word spelled in error.

Go educate yourself.
