Night time domestic freight was definitely not for me. Sitting through the sort and then going back out was brutal and I could never adjust. I don’t do South America trips for the same reasons, I don’t recover well. Day time or international freight is a beautiful thing though. Flying passengers is often a PITA. With freight you don’t have to deal with passengers, flight attendants, making PA’s every time there is a bump, etc. They just close the door and you only have to fly the airplane, not deal with drama. Our heavy crews have found out how good freight only flying is and don’t want it to end. If it were possible to transfer my current seniority over to FedEx or UPS and fly daytime domestic or heavy international to Europe or Asia, I’d be gone tomorrow. Being that it’s not, I’ll bid what I want to fly here and be grateful for a pretty good job.
