I’m not sure what stays the day and what stays the night though.
They must have made some changes. COD and GCC were former Key Lime routes Alpine took over and they were Denver based. Looks like they switched to Billings base. OLF is only an early morning postal route. Another company takes UPS there though. MLS continues with two more stops and the pilot spends the day in SDY. Not a bad route and Alpine pays more on top of your standard 99 salary on that route due to three stops there and back. GTF continues onto Cut Bank and is Billings based home every night. BZN is also Billings based and a popular route don’t expect to get it. Routes are awarded to the most senior pilot who wants them. By far the most popular route is or was a postal flight out of Billings by 9 pm home by midnight. Their most senior guy holds that at 24 yrs seniority and counting last time I looked. Not sure if that still happens as the post office has been making cut backs.
