[crj200driver]

I see were you can submit a resume to the UPS web site, but how do you apply for the paricular job of pilot on that web site. will they post it as an available position soon, or is there some other way I am not aware of.

Thanks Clyde. I appreciate the info.

I understand there is no ANC base, but there sure is a lot of flying out of there. Where are those crews coming from? Would it be real difficult for a guy to live in ANC and just pick up trips from there? or would you have to commute to ONT or SDF only to fly back to ANC for the rest of the your trip?

Is everyone going to the FE seat? How long would a wide body seat open up that would flow through ANC?

It would be quite easy to live in ANC and begin and end your trips there. We have had new hires go into the right seat of the 757, but I wouldn't count on it. In a year or so you should be able to hold a seat that goes through ANC though

As for ANC domicile:

The Chief Pilot in ANC stated that there will be an ANC domicile very soon, before even the contract is settled. 767 crews.

Let's hope that like always, he doesn't know what he is talking about

I know he's Management, but Chris isn't exactly a dunce. I know him pretty well after our upgrades together.

Look at the DHs to and from the Pac Rim, and a 767 base there makes perfect sense if you're UPS. Next week I fly Japan Airlines business class to Osaka to pick up a 757 Intra-Asia trip; great for us, but must drive cheap-ass UPS crazy...

I never met the guy, I was thinking of our other favorite manager up there. Yo uare right though, when I look at the Z bid package with all of it's anc starts and stops, I too wonder why we don't have a domicile up there. I suspect at one point we are going to see some sort of a large re-allignment with some consideration given to right sizing (could be up or down) ONT and MIA

100% agreed. Look at the (diminishing- now down to about 12) ONT Pac Rim lines. The pilots take 1-2 days to DH over; 1-2 day back. I think ONT int'l flying will be gone in the near future, the exception maybe being the ONT-HNL-SYD-TPE-ANC-ONT pairing.

If there were an ANC domicile any ideas if it would bid senior/Junior?

My guess is that an ANC domicile would go very junior.

Right now the junior domicile at UPS is MIA 757/767, and that's a far easier commute than Alaska.

Who said anything about commuting ! ;-)

Just like ANC, there are a fair amount of trips that begin or end in RFD.
