No real way to know but if you get a 757 bid someplace, a year or so should get you to ONT. It could be sooner if the rumored transition to smaller but more frequent bids comes to fruition.

I'm guessing there is nothing to expand on as it is just someone blowing smoke.......the next guy will try to tell you that huge bids are the new way of doing business....Reality? We will all know when it comes out, plain and simple. No one KNOWS shat until that happens.

You're right. A van driver told an ANC acp so take it for what it is worth. We used to do small and often, nice for changing domiciles with the season, but that was many moons ago. Lately we've been doing once a year mega bids. It might go back to the other way as they seem to have problems predicting their training burdens

UPS First Year Pay
Looking through the pay charts on APC, it appears UPS has one of the lowest first year FO pay rate of any major/cargo/LCC ($45/hr). First year at the regionals is $35-$40/hr. Any reason for this? Any UPS guys have info on life as a first-year guy? Thanks!

Search function and some good time spent in these forums will answer any question you have.

First year pay blows, and it has cost us a lot of good pilots who simply can't take the one-year hit...but if you can get past that you'll be just fine.
