I had a pretty good shot at UPS and chose not to pursue it....and I have never looked back in regret. I know a ton UPS dudes and some struggle to get through a tour....and most look older than they are. I also spent a lot of time JS'ing with them...there is no way in hell I could do that. Rolling in at 2 am and seeing guys just coming to work....no thanks. Money cannot make up for that lifestyle...but that is just my opinion.
Good on yeh. It isn't for everyone. Definitely ages some, It works for me, but one should consider backside flying. Many fly intl and day turns (with seniority) to avoid backside flying. So it is possible to avoid a career of backside flying. Still just a cargo dog <g>
