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.

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…

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.
