767?

Do pilots dual-qual in 767 & 757 or just fly one or the other?

Changing Domicile

As a new hire, if you want to be based in SDF but get assigned somewhere else initially, how long until you could bid for SDF?

You can switch domiciles on same airframe at the next available bid your seniority will hold it, otherwise seat locks are 18 months.

Every airframe is currently in SDF with exception of 747.

Looks like one guy from the Oct class is no longer on the seniority list. Wonder if Delta/United called??

You’d be nuts to leave UPS for any place other than FDX. Of course there are outliers who need to live in a Delta or United domicile and that’s probably the case.

Guys who have been around the block tend to favor UPS/FDX, while the youngish fellers from regionals tend to be attracted to the bright lights of the passenger airlines.

I know one guy that got a CJO who went to Delta because his Delta class was in OCT and he'd have to wait for JAN for a class date with UPS. It was a true toss up for him, but 3 months is a long time to wait for a decision like that and he lived in LA, so he was close to both bases.
