Out of ANC, on the the MD11, I'd say 60-65% of my flying is daytime flying. It varies based on time of season.
My pairing is a three leg pairing wheras two of the three legs are daytime flying.
The domestic folks do just the opposite, probably 90%+ of their flying is at night.

Almost all of my trips are daytime, except for the last leg back from Asia to Anchorage. We leave Asia in the evening, and arrive in Alaska in the early afternoon. So half of that leg is daylight also.
I've always liked flying at night so I wasn't worried about it when I decided to come over. Now that I am here, I don't fly nights as much as I used to. Go figure!

DAL and CAL are ranked together with everyone. I think based info here and friends there that DAL is a much better place to work than CAL.
1. Better ins from day 1,
2. Better international growth
3 Just getting ready to start a 700+ pilot hiring binge.
4. Better pay and work rules.
So in my opinion DAL over CAL

Is it true that delta has some "Delta Pilot Wives Club", and becuase of them the F/A's don't stay in the same hotel as the pilots. That blows if you ask me, at least the CAL F/A's stay at the same hotel as the pilots, some of them look like they would be a lot of fun................
