Yep, good thing to clarify. 1 commute = to and from work.

Why did UPS get rid of the longer 1 trips a month?

Like most other airlines UPS has begun using scheduling optimization software. The software enables them to extract more pounds of flesh per credit hour paid. Every forum on here has people griping about schedules going downhill. This software is why.

On another thread someone said the Z base has lots of 1 trips per month.

Because peeps like me on the 74 would conflict and end up having a big chunk of deficit and would hardly get restored. So having smaller trips they are able to avoid that issue.

True, about 20% of them.

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…
Optimizer wreaks havoc. I fear the the optimizer this looks horrible unless living in base. I see why many move… Getting paid for pain at least so there’s that among other things. Good info.

So, why isn't this happening on the Z? The large reduction in big trips?

One possibility is the 74 does AQP twice a year vs the 76 once a year. And another 74 has 2 bases, while the Z only has one. So more opportunities for the 74 than the 76. Lastly I believe the Z can be restored domestic trips. But don't quote me on that. 74 doesn't really do domestic trips.

Anyone here think that home basing would ever be possible? The commutes to ANC are extremely painful.
