Worst trips at UPS or FedEx?

Worst trips at UPS or FedEx?
If one were a new hire at each, what would be considered the crappiest line?
I'm trying to gauge how hard life would be before getting those sweet lines where you hardly work. Like my neighbors who are always home while I'm flying my tail off.
Thanks a lot fella's.

To answer your question, it depends on a lot of things. Stay in your newhire seat, most likely 727 SO, for a while, and you could be getting decent lines in a couple months. But, if we start filling widebody FO slots in SPS and ANC after you're hired, as we recently did, it could be 6 mos to a year. Upgrade at the earliest opportunity to an FO seat, Widebody FO, and then to CAP, and you might never get a decent schedule. Also, are you going to commute? Figure on adding 2 to 3 days a month to your schedule, until you get senior enough to bid double DHs or fly out of your home city. We have people who are still in SO seats at 7-9 years, because they fly out of their home city and are home everyday.

I'll let you know how crappy the lines are once I get one
