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.

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?

Maybe it’s like a joint husband/wife account.
