Default Alaska or UPS?

Alaska or UPS? What would you choose and why? Pilot lives in SoCal. Assume both FJOs. Asking for a friend.

When you say CJO at UPS, are you talking a pool letter or a CJO with a tentative class date?

Would you rather eat a Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonald's or a five course meal in a Michelin 3-Star restaurant? That's basically what you just asked. Alaska in its current state is the crappy cheeseburger - there are worse things to eat, but eating them for 30 years is going to definitely take a toll on your health.

Yes, I’m surprised your friend is struggling with this decision. UPS vs Alaska, what is there to even think about?

No skin in the game as I don't work at either carrier, but I find these 'vs' threads incredibly annoying. All they ever instigate is biased diatribe. I guess I don't understand why supposed "adults" and "professionals" need to be hand held into making career decisions in what is best for them and their family. The information about pretty much any carrier is easily accessible on this very site. Do your own research and form your own conclusion. /rant

PIA-RFD. RFD-SDF. Sit the 3.5 hr sort in the middle of the night. SDF-BHM.

That’s a five course meal in a Michelin 3-star restaurants?
If you’re gonna talk about toll on the health, then be realistic about cargo flying.
