Lightbulb Why they call it "work"

All-night legs go with the territory if you want to fly International or enjoy a long west-coast layover. With proper rest, they aren't bad at all, but peaceful and relaxing. Lots of senior pilots bid these rotations, even when they pay no more than domestic/daylight trips, and many "freight dawgs" are quite content doing this all the time. Personally, I preferred to do some of each. It's a mistake to think that every intelligent person must want the same kind of work and schedule that you do. It's also a mistake to think that, in any profession, you can have the lifestyle you want by doing whatever you want whenever you want to do it.
