Not a big fan of flying at night anymore to be honest, hence the reason I decided to try the majors, not either of the cargo boys.
If you don’t want to fly at night SFO 756 ain’t for you. While it varies month to month I’d say at least 1/3 of the flying starts with a redeye and that’s a conservative estimate. With that said it’s a comfortable airplane, it doesn’t go anywhere ****ty out of SFO (at least IMHO) and most of the flying is 1 leg to the hotel (said hotel is in BOS, MCO or a hub 99% of the time). There are 2 leg days. Very rarely 3 leg days (haven’t seen any of those in at least a year). Mostly 757-200 and 757-300 flying. We do have some 767-300 flying between the hubs this month. None next month. Don’t plan on any 767-400 flying after IOE. Occasionally a trip may drop in for an airplane coming out of HKG maintenance or if HNL to the east coast has to flag stop due to somebody getting sick en route.
