UPS ANC domicile question
 

Don't have the contract with me right now; when does the company help us with moving costs, etc? Is it only if one gets displaced? What if someone who’s off probation bids and gets ANC - would I get help with moving costs, buying/selling my house, etc.? (providing I sign up for the 2 year commitment)?

Also, do y’all know anyone who commutes to ANC from Hawaii? I’ve looked up prices on Orbitz, etc and it looks to be between 700-1200 a month. If done once or maybe twice a month I’d think it’d be doable, what do y’all think?

Plz be honest even though me moving to ANC might bump you a number… ;)

With the latest slowdown warning I’ll probably be on reserve in ONT for years to come and the idea of spending 12-16 days a month at Red Roof all over again makes me wanna pop a Prozac…

Don't quote me, as I'm a n00b, but if you are displaced you get the #1 move package which is everything. If you choose to go and sign a commitment, I think you get package #2 that is the same but they don't help you with selling your house, breaking leases or buying a house up there. Move weight limit is 18.5k and two cars, or one car and a moose.

Are you going to need a roomie or crash padder? I just got displaced up there with NWA, starting in Oct. Thanks.

Pretty good summary ... FWIW

;)

You can access the contract online (IPA website) if you don't have the paper copy with you.

I don't believe you are entitled to anything if you choose to go to ANC now that it is no longer a "new" domicile. I believe the second package you were referring to was for new hires if they signed the 3 year deal. I do agree, however, that if one gets displaced to ANC they are entitled to package 1.

Good luck with your decision.

Yes, but the recent LETTER OF AGREEMENT NO. 08-01, ANCHORAGE DOMICILE IMPLEMENTATION highlights that 'seniority crewmembers' that volunteer for a 3 year term without moving out are entitled to moving package #2. So, FIT59, what you said (I believe) was true when we were hired back in Feb, but that should have recently changed.

Be careful what you wish for ... ;)

Wannabe,

You actually want to be displaced to ANC? I'll probably end up getting bounced there on the displacement bid....you can have mine, if you want it.

There are a lot worse things in life than being on reserve in ONT. Get a crashpad, an airport car, and enjoy Southern California. Think of it as a two week SoCal vacation every month. On RSVA we hardly fly at all. It's a no brainer IMHO.
