I'm way early on my job research (five years, not that I'm counting), but as a new UPS guy where could I expect to be based? Cyrstal ball kind of answer I know but what are the junior locations? And for Fedex?
Thanks
The big difference between UPS and FDX in regards to ANC is that FDX guys have an incentive to go there and UPS dudes do not. FDX has widebodies in ANC which means substantially more pay since the FDX payscale is skewed. UPS has a single payscale. WHy would I want to move to ANC and fly an MD-11 when I can stay in Louisville (SDF) and fly a 757 or A300 and make the same amount of money? It's actually more money in SDF since the cost of living is so much less.
