Thanks for the explanation

Very nice explanation Salty, thanks.

If on reserve at MIA, what is the time between receiving a call and reporting for duty?

2 hours
but I need 10 letters, so...

You can elect EC (early call) and they usually call u as soon as the trip pops in or at least 3 hrs out...

Thanks, we’re looking at houses and trying to balance cost against drive time to MIA. Of course this might just be a moot point as I’m still just a poolie.

Unsolicited advice, but its free. I had a rule, don't buy a house or move in the first year for an airline job. I broke that rule for the first time when I came to UPS.

Long story short, I got forced out of SDF & ONT and landed in ANC for a few years.

Don't even think about a move as a poolie, or on probation.

And before someone says it wouldn't happen in today's hiring environment, guess again.

UPS just posted a displacement of approx 20 FOs out of ANC on the MD. The realignment will close before displacements, so some of the potential displacements may not occur. But if displacements occur as published, it would affect those hired into ANC MD as far back as Oct 2017.

I bet most of those 20, FO’s at least, didn’t want to be up there anyway. So that may work out for those people. The captains are a different story but that’s any airline. This stuff happens everywhere and at all airlines. It’s the job.

CC, I appreciate the advice and expected that sentiment from someone. However, there are multiple reasons for our home search outside of my possible employment with UPS. Being optimistic, I have weighted UPS considerations higher than others.

I truly hope that this MIA thread isn’t derailed by ANC displacements.
