The DHL that keeps coming back can be a little more challenging domestically, internationally not so bad (for as long as we have that contract). The AMC stuff has some long days but the flying is fun and usually the overnights are pretty good (pacific operation).
Absolutly apply, if you make it over you will find that cargo beats passenger work.
I appreciate the response! I plan on dropping the app in when it opens! If you came from regional flying or other pax. how long did it take to get use to long stretches of work or being on the road? I commuted to my base in the NE from down south so those 11-12 days off a month was really less since it involved commuting on both ends, missing flights home etc.
Seems like even though you work more in a longer stretch it would provide a better quality of life as it takes away the stress of commuting among other things.
Really do appreciate all you guys taking the time to respond and answer the questions. Much appreciated.
