Flying for UPS or Fedex? I'm really just asking about flying cargo in general.

"What kind of work schedule can be expected while flying cargo"

At Fedex, we have trips where you are away from base for 6 hours, to trips where you are away for 12 days. We have trips that operate at night only and trips tha operate during daytime only. The great thing about this job is tha we have such a variety of work scheduleds, that almost everybody eventually finds their nitch, then sticks with it. The bottom line is, get a job a Fedex or UPS and you are set for life. Ecpect to spend 7 years as a FO and the rest of your career as a captain. A 30 year career is worth about 6 to 7 million dollars for pay only.
