You have a lot to learn about Fedex and UPS my friend. I am with Fedex and on the 757. There is day flying to be had (depending on seniority). We have 777's. If you think that the A380's and 777's at Emirates, only fly during the day, you must be smoking some good stuff. And by the way, the layovers at Emirates are pretty short. I have 6 buddies, who over the last 5 years, have left Emirates because their bodies were taking such a pounding. Two of them, both in excellent health, developed Diabetes because of their "great" schedules. This whole discussion is academic in any event, Fedex are only taking guys out of the pool, and the rest of the airlines will not be hiring for many years to come.
