Do you ever get sick of flying at night? That's all. Simple question.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. The trick for me is to do as little of it as possible.
For me flying nights does not get easier the more I do it. I much prefer flying during the day, but thats not the gig I signed up for.
As other have mentioned some night schedules are far superior to others. When you start doing the circadian rhythm flip flops every few days it gets real tough.
At UPS, with a bit of bidding horsepower you can avoid many of the nasty night trips. However the daytime lines tend to have less days off and are not as clean as the week on week off night schedules.
It affects different people in different ways. Some folks can adapt rather well while others cannot, and you really dont know what catagory you will be in until you do a bit of night flying.
