FedEx Schedules
#112
Pardon my ignorance. I have been on the corporate side for 10 years.
And sorry if this isn't in the right place...
I live in the Little Rock area and have had FedEx in my sights for some time now. I have read through the posts regarding scheduling am curious what the best schedule would be for driving from Little Rock. Its only a couple of hours so I would be willing to commute multiple times per month. QOL is most important to me so the 757 I assume would be my #1 choice. I don't care about touring the world at this point in my life.
Ultimately I am just curious if this is something that can be reasonably done and still maintain a good QOL with a lot of home time.
Thanks ahead of time for the responses!

Two questions: is there any one plane that traditionally has more day flying than the other? Also, with the reduced weekend flying, does that mean it’s not that hard to hold a schedule with weekends off? Having weekends off is a bit over rated, until your kids go to school.

Day flying is plentiful for all domestic fleets (though the 757 seems to have the least). It’s been mentioned a lot here, but if you want to avoid flying at 3am it’s pretty easy to do.

I appreciate the responses!
Thanks everyone for the kind replies. To confirm what I have read earlier, do the 767 and 757 both have roughly the same schedule? By that, I am asking is will it be just as possible to do 2 or 3 commutes on the 767 just as it is on the 757? I would prefer not to have unnecessarily long periods of time away from home at one time. I would prefer to make several commutes (drives from Little Rock) than stay out for a longer period of time.
