UPS Typical Schedule
#401
Is there any kind soul at UPS who is open/willing to share schedules or a bid package with me. I have read through a lot of posts and there is so much information but there's definitely no beating seeing what the schedules actually look like. Please feel free to dm me. Thank you for your help.

I’ve put out a ton of examples over the last 7+ years - but you’ll have to spend the time searching for them. Also check posts under FTv2 and FTFF. I provided enough detail that you should have a good feel for the different type of flying lines we have. Post the links you find.

There's a little bit of everything, depending on fleet and domicile. I'm fairly new to the company, but have been pleasantly surprised with the schedules so far. I try to avoid all nighters (on my circadian rhythm) as much as possible and have so far been mostly successful with that. Depending on fleet, seniority and where you live, will filter down your flying options. Living in domicile gives you a lot more flex. Right now I'm doing a lot of Asia/Pac Rim flights on the Whale with low seniority and living in domicile. The schedules are palatable, mostly because I live in domicile. If I didn't, my QOL would go way down. Feel free to pose any specific questions.

That’s rough. I talked to a 777 FedEx pilot and he said that was impossible.

Average (by quick eyeball) of 4-5 trips/8weeks requiring 4.5 commutes. Line 49 (worst) had 9 trips requiring 7 commutes. 1 of those trips is a turn which could easily be traded to the start or end of existing trip reducing commutes to 6. A lot of the lines you could do the same - shuffle stuff around to further reduce # of commutes. I could probably work line 49 down to 4 commutes…
Edit to add: 15+ reports is what you see in turn lines…
