UPS is adverse to opening or closing domiciles.
Wont open new locations IMO. Scheduling software is one reason, second is RFD, DFW, PHL do not have the density at its peak capacity to efficiently station crews at these locations in a domicile.
MIA was designed specifically to handle all South America flying. When that flying diminishes they use the crews to fly more than normal domestic keeping the domicile stable and efficient.
PHL is a on/off rumor for 25 years.... mostly off (Pilot fantasy)

UPS doesn't want to introduce more bids other than changing pilot numbers to match projected flying. SDF 747 is simply a return of a previous domicile now that enough 74s are on property. Ups could not get contractual relief on using ANC domicile to operate a domestic 74 system as they attempted to negotiate.

It depends on where you live. A lot of the Miami flying is day flying. A lot have passenger airline deadheads that allow you to deviate from where you live to whatever city you begin your trip at.

System bid award summer class drops?
Is the summer system bid posted or awarded? What’s the new hire drops for summer fall looking like? Will the sim in ANC change the 747 awards? With new planes coming will class size go up any or is it slow and steady?
