All this redeye flying is a big reason why I'm still on the 190. Id guess you'd need to be 50% or better in most bid statuses to completely avoid them.

Delta is like Alaska. You go do the interview then say no thanks you can kiss ever getting another interview goodbye. I'll never get another call from Alaska Air group, because I said thanks, but no thanks. You make the decision to go first, then go and don't look back.
Not entirely true. A good friend of mine turned DAL down in the mid 90's for an overseas corporate job. Two years later, he had a change of heart , reapplied and was hired. He is now a Captain at DAL. Granted, he was probably the exception. |

One thing not to forget is the value of the pension. You would have to make an extra $2 million or so at AA over the course of a career to match the value of a $120k/Year pension at UPS. UPS and FedEx are way ahead of all the airlines if you are looking at it from just the compensation angle.
More to it than that. I'm not sure what the deal is at UPS, but everyone I've known who's gone there absolutely hates the place after a few years. I've never heard of happy campers there. |

Heck..... In MIA, you'd have to be @50% just to avoid reserve
Saw that. Has to be in anticipation of the D and I integration with PBS. Only thing I can think of besides general incompetence. |

I hear ya. Time zone changes and I don't get along at all. If I never do a redeye in my career I'll be happy.
Yep. I need lots of food, water and sleep. Take away one of those and I'm miserable. I'll fly redeyes for group 2 captain pay. But not for FO pay. 4 legs a day on the e9 is fine with me. |
