I'm currently enjoying my commercial DH's at my current ACMI and using miles to take vacations with the wife is much better than non-revving. I'm living in DFW and would like to stay here. I know a number of UPS guys do live here and that there's quite a few daily UPS flights here.

What about reserve QOL? Do most guys get a crashpad in SDF or ONT? Better to just pay for hotels or rent a room somewhere? Nightmares of rotting in a crashpad during my regional days are coming back to haunt me though.

Lots
Yes you can and many do

Seems most get crashpads. I hear they are harder to get in ONT
We make enough $ to spend a lil extra on a nice crashpad that you dont dread spending time in.

As far as reserve QOL. I will let a reserve guy comment on their current situation.
