Also it says you can base the aircraft at a different airport within reasonable distance so would 120nm away be reasonable?
Thanks in advance! I would be looking at the Kansas routes if I were to apply.
Better late than never I guess -
The current starting salary for the UPS runs is 40k, with a bump at 1 year.
I don't make the desicions regarding bases or anything of the like, but if you're thinking 120nm in a straight line, out of the way from the route itself, I doubt anyone will go for it considering the fuel cost that would arise just from an additional 120nm of flying 5+ days a week, there and back alone. Not to mention the operating costs. But if you have a place in mind along the route, or only slightly off, you're free to bring that up.
This is where I suggest reading between the lines - Everything is negotiable. How much you can negotiate depends on what you bring to the table and your negotiating skills -
