I'm over 50, have commuted for almost 20 years (fairly long distance). I find it's pretty easy at FedEx, I mostly get deadheads on both ends if I can. Usually fly first class, so it's painless for the most part, getting confirmed tickets. It generally does not add additional time onto my trip. Sometimes I have to jumpseat into or out of Memphis, but we have direct flights to my home, so it's not too much of a hassle. If I had to go in/out a day early, I would not be happy being away from home for that extra time.
