Honestly you have to remember that the same people respond to these threads with the same things. It can be summed up as : we are a trucking company not an airline, management hates you, our schedules are so terrible you will die. I don’t know if these people actually fly any of the things they hate so much, and I’ve met plenty of pilots here that love the things I hate. I’m five years in, watching people I know upgrade (juniority must not be too terrible) and I have way more good days than bad. Friends junior to me bid week on week off schedules with tickets on each end. I fly and bid international trips specifically to work out and sleep- and it works great for me. I’d say the two top things we have going for us is #1 there is something here for everyone and you have the freedom to find what that is and #2 - we can get up and use the bathroom whenever we want.Originally Posted by Fpmx772
Been following this thread and the others. I’m coming to ups starting June 7th, leaving pax flying. I keep seeing everyone says domestic schedules are bad. What makes them bad? 3 legs a days? Redeye to 2 more legs during the day? What are you guys classifying as “bad flying/schedules? Cause from what I can tell, this is just normal flying (similar to what I’m doing now).
Good luck all.
