They are called Base Trip Lines (BTL). Don't worry, I'm sure you'll like them. Remember not to whine to those of us who did them for years. Just think happy thoughts about the money and how much better this worker's paradise is compared to your last slave ship.

Surely tens of thousands.
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.
