At AK you will probably block high 800s year and 1/3 of the flying is window of circadian low. Trip trading is made very difficult so it’s easy to miss important family events in my opinion. Good luck
Not to split hair but there was a guy maybe a yr, yr 1/2 ago that did come from UPS. Don’t know his story but in the picture of new hires, it said where everyone came from. Also, when you say 1/3 of the flying we do is WOCL, are you referring to company wide or as individuals? In your first year or so, yeah plan on flying a couple of red eyes a month depending on your “RAP” but after that they’re pretty easy to avoid. At 4 yrs in, I haven’t flown one in well over a year and that was only because it fit my scheduling needs.
