Could someone break down some of the plusses and minuses with each fleet at Atlas/Southern, and maybe a brief overview of what kind of flying each does?
747: most money. Most schedule changes. Leave the country on day 1 and return on day 17. 90% overseas. Hard on your body. OK pay. Bad QOL.
777 (from what I gather): DHL. Laps around the planet to the same places. More stable schedule. Mellow folk.
767: junior flying is domestic Amazon and DHL. Senior flying is international DHL and AMC pax. Week on week off (10 days on or 6 days on). Not so hard on your body. Bad pay. Decent QOL.
737 (from what I gather) Hang out around CVG lots. Fly 20 hours a month.
Some southern person can correct/update me. Hope this helps you select a fleet or class date.

can you be more specific about “hard on your body”? Are you referring to the constant time zone change and long flights? Anything else one should consider

Flip flop your circadian rhythm multiple times per trip. I find the worst to be the 24 hour layovers where my body clock gets completely turned around.
