What time of day do your International flights depart again....?

For the record, after 2-5 years of seniority at FedEx, you can fly daytime the rest of your career if you so choose. I only fly it now by choice, either because I want certain days off or for International. There is NO way to avoid some night flying on International, but FedEx actually does LESS night flying on the International side than the pax carriers do.

Also, I have, over my career, and by choice, helped customers out quite often. It's not like you're really interacting with them enroute either.
