Also for myself, I'd rather be tired and flying at night than deal with Whining pax, flight attendants, gate agents etc. Also remember one thing, All it takes is one jackass terrorist on a mission to send the pax carriers back into a post 9/11 downturn, whereas here, not so much. Also really look at our retirement...no brained there.
Good luck
