There’s a schedule at UPS to suit just about any Louisville area resident…

Reserve (many “professional reserves” here)
Turn lines (out and backs)
Base Trip Lines (more/shorter trips)
Week on/off

International fleets have longer trips & blocks of reserve, up to 14 days.

I did morning turns for almost 4 years, with the exception of the June/July bid when I did day flying. I think I had less than 20 hotel stays each of those years, and a bulk of those stays I did have were self-induced via trip pickup or trading.

Night flying ain’t easy, but the QOL that comes from living in domicile cannot be overstated.
