Many non-aviation jobs offer premium pay for graveyard shifts.

I remember naively attending and OBAP/WAI conference years ago and the FedEx pilots said the company was proud to offer premium pay and vacation due to the more challenging work environment.

If the cargo carriers ever need pilots at the same time as passenger carriers, premium pay will have to come as there will be no other incentive to go to cargo. Stability is now common to all carriers. There must be a draw for cargo as QOL is better at the passenger side at this point.
