That being said, I'll take a week of hub-turning with DDH's on either end over 0330 wakes any day. I sleep more, never have to set an alarm, and am more rested throughout the day than I was when I was doing 3-4 leg days at the pax airlines.

Bottom line... I feel like FDX is a place where you can make the most money with the least amount of work and effort. I felt like I was always in and out of the house and the suitcase at the pax airlines with the 3-4 on, 3-4 off. I definitely worked harder for my living there. Sure, it takes me a day to recover from a week of night flying, but so did flying a long 4 day at the pax airlines. My body is affected nearly the same way.

FDX has given me so much time to go enjoy the things that actually make life exciting.
