95% of you problems as a passenger airline pilot are due either to passenger or F/A drama. Cargo is the way to go, especially with a first rate company like FedEx or UPS.
This is exactly how I feel. As a military guy I rarely fly passengers and absolutely dread having to fly commercial when I have to. Although, if I am lucky enough to get an interview at Fedex can I actually say that this is one of the main reasons why I want to fly for Fedex?
