The only way to get them would be VTORs but you don't find your award out until a few days before the new bid period starts so that makes it unpopular. It likely would take years to hold VTOs that are at the bottom of the VTOs. Movement on z is going to come from FOs upgrading.

Common reserve on z is a and b. A is midnight to noon and b is noon to midnight.

1.5 hour call out.

assuming reserve you will need a hotel/crashpad? If not living in base…

Or you can preference trips if you’d rather work than sit in a crashpad. You would wind up eating a few hotel room bills every so often.

If there are trips to preference. I don't see that much on Z. While company can assign you cross domicile trips so ont, SDF domestic, or mia....you can't preference cross domicile.

Private room pads are around $350 per month. 250ish for shared.

Atlas is providing $1250 max to international commuters. Anything above that goes on their personal credit card.

So do they bid on hvy vs light twin classes or is that assigned with the job offer? Have people requested something different at time of job offer?

Hvy vs light twin class is assigned. You are free to express your preference, they my or may not care.

Assigned with the job offer. Typically in the past if you had heavy international time (civ or mil), the likelihood was high you’d be offered a heavy class. All others could expect 75/76/Bus. Reasoning was that there had been training failures/issues resulting from bringing non-international experienced folks into the heavy fleets. Personally, I think this says more about how much UPS cares about its training programs than it did about any new-hire shortcomings, but as usual here, they run their show how they want to.
