The pilots union at shipping giant UPS is offering to fly to Haiti for free to assist in relief efforts following Tuesday's catastrophic magnitude seven earthquake. The Independent Pilots Association represents UPS' 28-hundred pilots and has set up an electronic volunteer database for members to sign up for the missions. UPS Public Relations Manager Jackie Blair says the flights will be coordinated through the UPS Foundation, a nonprofit arm of Atlanta, Georgia-based UPS Inc. The company will also donate a million dollars to Haiti relief efforts.
