and the company even pays for our hotels on layovers (well, sometimes… better have that receipt)

We really do have it good here.

You are blocked for a reason. Time for you to head back to the regionals.

UPS has CML tickets for domestic positioning. Internationally you will see some DH on company aircraft but a lot of commercials also. I commercialled to FRA four times last year.

What is your definition of a lot? 20% of the lines? Most, or 80% of yours are on company metal DH's to and from Europe and Asia. And then with the remaining 20%; UPS cancels the Commercial and puts you on a Brown Tail.

Warm nuts to a cold damp crowded Freighter. We at FDX have a $1 million dollar perk per month UPS can only dream for. We have 99% Commercials. So it is horrible here.

Cocoloco isn't a Fedex pilot. He has claimed for quite a while to be a UPS pilot. Probably neither, just has fun playing make believe on these forums. Here is something he post on the UPS forum.

A long time ago. Like i said in original thread. Depends on when one was hired. I am less senior on Z than I would be on the 747 sdf- % wise. So in my case, the 747 is less senior.

Seriously envious of the commercials, but who cares about 99% when all your international flying is going to be contracted out to the lowest bidder soon? What is 99% of 0?
