Is SDF right out of training possible? Fleet doesn't matter to me as much as location. I've been driving to Columbus so Louisville would actually be closer.
How much graveyard shift are we talking for new hires? I know the cargo business, and this is one of the main reasons I've stayed on the pax side. I had one of your management pilots in the jumpseat recently and he said alot of the mail contracts are daytime flying...true? That's all I've got! Thanks all.
It also depends on your age relative to your classmates. The older you are, the more likely it is that you will get your first choice of base/equipment.
