So my question is does most of FedEx/UPS flying happen at night, or is that a stereotype. Is there much day flying? How do you guys like doing back of the clock flying? When are the big arrival/departure pushes in MEM?
Any insight on this subject would be great.
I heard somewhere that UPS is about 60/40 night/day. This includes ALL operations around the world though. To be REAL day domestic, one must be very senior.
