International Commuter Possible
Is there a possibility of being an international commuter at UPS? Was thinking ANC 747? I guess trip trading/line building-rebuilding isn't relaly a thing at UPS. My commute would be from Asia so riding down to HKG and catching a local flight home is easy enough, if I'm to be based at ANC.

Is it possible? yes
would your life be miserable (At least until you had some seniority)? yes
I'm sure someone will come along and say it's not so bad, but it really would suck for probably a couple years, then just be really painful for the remainder.

A few of my FO's are doing this. If you have lots of heavy international time you will probably be put in one of the international fleets. Anchorage would be about the "easiest" domicile to commute into from Asia. Knowing UPS you would probably be put on the 75 domestic. It would be pretty easy to bid into ANC after your seatlock is up if they send you somewhere you dont like. It depends on your level of pain tolerance.
