Can you avoid night flying after 2 years at UPS? I don’t know but I’m told no and you can expect it for the majority of your career there. You won’t spend the majority of your career at AS flying WOCL unless you want to. Is that a reason to choose AS over UPS? Depends on the person and how they want to live their life.

These Vs. threads are pretty useless because there’s no way to know where someone will spend a happier career. Someone may enjoy day trips at Allegiant more than 7-14 days on the road at UPS/Fed Ex. There’s a lid for every pot.
Never heard that expression in english, but LMAO half thinking in dutch. Lid is the polite dutch word for penis, pot is the dutch for dike (female version, not holding-back-water-device).
