ANC - reserve blocks of 1 week on the 747 and 2 weeks on the MD 11.
Don't know about MIA or ONT.

Some pilots here at UPS get myopic, and are unable to see the big picture. Second year pay of $150K is no different from getting hired at American and becoming an MD-80 captain at Year 2.
Plus, he would enjoy at Year 2 more time off than an MD-80 captain in LGA.
We have our downsides at UPS, but overall guys aren't leaving because of the good pay and TIME OFF (my junior crashpad roomie-- bottom 5% in domicile-- got four weeks off utilizing one week of vacation).

The bottom 15 or so on the 747 can NOT hold reserve during fishing season, (summer).
1) ANC-SDF-ANC (3day) followed on day 4-6 by ANC-SDF-ANC
2) ANC-PVG-ANC (3day) followed on day 4-6 by ANC-PVG-ANC
3) Week on/off Reserve
2 week trips go the most senior.

I'm commuting to TYO. Second year pay is more than I'm making now.
