That said, if you only have a couple years here and FedEx or UPS calls and they are a better fit, of course it makes sense to leave.
I knew one 757 captain at UPS that the night flying really took a toll on. He made it to his late 50's before he unfortunately passed. Some people I think are able to deal with it due to genetics better than others. From what I've heard FedEx, because of the mail contracts has more day flying than UPS.
