It’s the most diverse flying in the fleet. Decreasing international but still a fair amount (especially charters). Domestic flying is far from all hub turns... there are a number of week long trips that may only see Memphis once.

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but many posts back mention that some/quite a bit of 75 flying goes through EWR. Is it feasible/realistic that someone could do out and back or 3-4 day trips from there or do all roads lead to MEM? I realize it's not a base but it seems like schedules at Big Purple frequently start away from a base anyway. (I live 20 min from Newark so that would work out really well for me.)
Similarly, is it reasonable/feasible to have very early morning shows 0400-ish vs overnight flying. I'm on the late night sim schedule at the moment and while I can handle it physiologically, it's been weird for my gf. She's an early riser so our schedules have been exactly 180 out. So, while FedEx is somewhere I really want to be at it's making me wonder if it's really a good match.

As far as your second question. 4 am showtimes from the hub are a bit more rare. They exist on some senior international trips but most of our overnight trips (departing the hub) show between 0130-0300. That said, you can always fly days, or at least avoid the early showtimes from the hub based on what you bid to fly. It gets said a lot but is worth repeating, there’s something for everyone here.

True but to his questions, EWR is a very commuter friendly location. Probably the most Jumpseats to MEM everyday. This month my trips all start and end in EWR so he could be working 3 days instead of 5. There are a lot of pairings that start and end within easy drive/train range.
