Don't forget after flying boxes on the backside of the clock most of your career you get to keel over when you retire. Can't take all that extra money with you.

Flying at FedEx isn’t anything like corrosion corner in MIA. I met a one year guy at FedEx and he flew less red eye than we do at spirit.

That’s a common misconception. I’ll have to say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised how easy it is to avoid the night flying. Last year (yr 2 on property) I flew 349 (Night) and 331 (Daytime) Block hours. My typical pairing is one leg, 24-36 hour layover and then one leg home.

Looks like a lot of night to me. https://youtu.be/JZ41PAFe1Bw
Some daytime in there when the sun comes up.

Simply put......I Hustle.
I’m making at Year 2/3 what you’ve indicated you made at years 6/7. To each his own. We’ve all got our reasons for flying the schedules we prefer.
It’s a beautiful thing that we’re both allowed the schedule freedom and flexibility to either fly as little as possible or as much as we’d like to.
