So yeah, if you bid for nothing besides night hub turns, it will wear you down. But day flying is widely available as long as you don't mind flying to EWR, DFW, OAK, ONT, LAX, SAT, MIA, PHX, JFK, PDX all the time.







It's looking like $403/hr for United's top rate but only $331/hr for their 757 captains.



UPS 757 captains will be making $401/hr if their TA is ratified.



That's a big difference, especially with the higher guarantee at UPS.
