Don't get me wrong Fedex is a great job and I wish I would have been hired there back when I got hired at AA. I would have figured out/ dealt with the night stuff.
But flying for a company that operates mostly at night just isn't for some people, regardless of the pay.
Really? I just did my log book....65% and night and 35% day flying. Welcome to reserve and redeyes only thing in open time. Also, now that I can hold a line, the schedule sodimiser builds many trips with red eyes to day rest to late night flying!!! You are working more on the same day.....just in the dark!
Give me a break everyone, I've flown more at night at AA then I ever did at a regional. So many of our schedules start or end with a redeye, that I've had entire monthly schedules with at least one on each trip. Going from night schedules to day flying over 3-4 days is far worse on the human body then what FEDEX bulids. Far worse.
