And the fact that you put scientist in quotations...indicates your distaste (or lack of respect) for them....so what makes a scientist a scientist? Education, experience, experimentation in an controlled and uncontrolled environment, years of research? Would you put the scientist and engineers who developed.....let's say for example...maybe stealth technology...in "quotations"...or would you respect them for keeping your billion+ dollar jet semi-invisible? I would say the B2 is an example of science and technology coming together to make a "unique" airplane to say the least.

Also, your "personal" experience does substitute or throw out reams of data taken over the course of years and countless hours of study and research. There will always be "exceptions" to any study...and you more than likely know that...maybe not.

Just because YOUR personal experience says otherwise does not mean everyone will enjoy the same level of achievement in defeating the effects of a constant assault on circadian rhythms. If someone were to approach you and say "I smoke crack everyday and feel zero effects from it so you should be cool too.." would you start smoking crack? I mean research says its bad for you but what do those people know. They are just "scientist" after all.

As for my cargo experience relative to UPS, we flew freight (maybe before you were there) for UPS and worked the same hours. It was tough... We also had plenty of rest...it was still tough.

Enjoy the job...UPS is a great company.
