You're not even close. When you start to work the hours on both sides of the clock that the ACMI do that also carry your cargo, you'll scream bloody murder and still won't be going at that kind of pace. Peak isn't close. Just backed up.
You scream long and loud about the abuse and the rough conditions, despite being at the worlds second highest paying airline, working one of the best-treated, easiest jobs in the world, and have no idea what it's really like to run around the clock, do you?
The FedEx model works for FedEx, but has been falling behind (had a time critical package recently take 7 days to go from one state to another in an overnight package on FedEx), and the world on time is anything but. FedEx isn't doing deliveries in the dead of night; doing the sort, but nothing like a 24 hour supply. You may actually be working one of the most pampered jobs in the world, and have no idea how the other 90% lives. You're one of the loudest voices on here constantly wailing about it, too. One can only imagine what happens if you eventually learn what reality is really like.

Cargo already got large sums of Covid money, at a time when cargo was making large dividends due to increased rates. Record profits.
You know this.
