Can anyone with actual expertise and knowledge chime in? Thanks!
What you’re hearing is correct. United usually you’ll fly 3-4 day trips. Summer time gone about 18 days a month, less the rest of the year. I just had lunch with a UPS buddy who hired on same time as me. He’s blocked 20% less time his total career there than me, and made 33% more than me on his 2021 W2.
