Same old BS on this board, yeah, sure, a 12 yr UPS guy left or would leave for a place like former VX/AS/JB

Thread bump.
Have under a year at B6, commute, really like working there for the most part.
Have an opportunity possible with UPS (met someone in recruiting, and also went to last OBAP). It would also be a commute.
I could drive to PHL in around an hour, and I've heard that's somewhere some trips could start? Realize it's not a base, but DHs etc make it possible.
I don't have a lot seniority at B6 but will hold a line soon, and upgrade is relatively pretty quick. Wife and I have talked about moving to a domicile to make it work better. I suppose we would think about the same for UPS should it ever happen.
It's a small point in the big picture, but I also wonder how much "fun" UPS folks have on the road. Are the layovers ever fun? One of the things i like about B6 is going to work often involves a caribbean layover or a transcon to SFO/LAX/SAN/PDX and those are places I enjoy when I'm on the road. Sorry, don't have many UPS people to ask this to. Are the layovers all about sleep management, or is there any enjoyment of them? Probably a loaded question and a YMMV type thing.

He's just being honest.
FWIW ... Just one opinion, within the domestic system, most of my layovers are about sleep management.
Some "fun" can be had on the longer international and some domestic layovers, but those also present unique problems when they range from 20-32 hours.
I will also add, do not move to a UPS domicile until the spouse has been there for more than a visit and approves of the move.
Good Luck
With the way that we are growing, you would hold a line rather quickly.
