I guess they were right, flying the back side of the clock can get to you...
Four?
Maybe you're right. I probably shouldn't have said "raw" lines. All I know is that they are always on their phones working at adjusting their schedule, and at the end of it, they are working the same if not more than I am for about the same (maybe more money) but a lot more block.
I don't wan to get into a you know what measuring contest, and I hope my post didn't come off like that. You guys are great, and you do work hard. My two best buds are SWA Captains and love (luv?) it there.
And I get what the OP is saying. The FedEx equivalent to SWA's "five legs a day" trope is "all FedEx guys do is fly at night and they all look like they're 80." I know it gets kind of old trying explain what it's really like and dispelling the suppositions.
Carry on...
