Examples of schedules?
Can anyone post some examples of what a real world schedule might look like for a new hire as well as maybe 2 years in and then 5-7 years senority? Perhaps what your last 28 day rotation looked like?
I have a pretty good job now with good seniority and quality of life. I'm pretty well maxed out on my pay scale though, and I don't get to do much international flying. I'm just trying to determine if I should set my sights on a UPS career and what the quality of life would be like overall. I know first year would be tough, but I can take anything for a year. It's after the first year that I'm curious about.
Any examples of how many days on and off would be appreciated.
Thanks

and of course after reading through pages of posts before asking the question above, the next post I read has some of the answers I was looking for. However, I'm happy to get more input from anyone with more info.

depends on fleet and domicile.
worst case/new hire is short blocks of night-time reserve (midnight-noon) with half the month off (work 14 out of 28 days); or Base Trip Lines, which are short trips, multiple commutes, working 15-17 out of 28 days.
After 2 years, hold something more commutable and some day flying. hopefully a line with (working) 14-15 days out of 28
after 5-7 years hopefully hold a line with (working) 12-13 days out of 28 (even more commutable), or 2 blocks of reserve , or all day flying.
if you live in domicile your relative seniority increases exponentially.
someone else can address the international fleet as I am domestic

SDF - not difficult at all. Prices range from $200-230/mo for a shared room and $250-400/mo for a private room.
