Occasional lurker. Curious what the Z stands for behind a base (SDFZ) and curious what the average (normal without picking up) monthly credit is per fleet ?

Flying domestic that's about what you will get. Sometimes a little more. Flying International, guys will often get more with lines often built to upwards of 85 hours.

Question on Junior MD schedule

We do have some longer lines that would reduce your number of commutes as well. The single best tool you will have as a junior dude is the trip board. Be aggressive about dropping and trading trips and you will be able to build a more commuter friendly line. This is not without stress, but doable. Most people aren’t really happy about being at UPS until they hit their second year here. Suddenly, on second year pay, leaving for anywhere else seems unthinkable.

You can sell down to 148 minimum or a number that jumps up 10 hours per year.
148/75 credit guarentee per 28 day pay period is about 56 days of sick. One could sell about a pay period, in theory.

The trip board can be beneficial as long as you know what you are doing. Say you have a line that has 65 hr credit…you still get paid guarantee of 75. You have what is called a 10 hour line buffer. Now you post a trip that has a 20 hour credit and someone picks it up, if you want to get back to 75 hours, you not only have to pick up something for 20 hours, you also have to “make up” the 10 hour buffer, so if you drop 20 hour trip, you will need 30 hours pickup to get back to 75 credit. Most people colloquially call this flying for free.
