I like working at United. I don't think there is anything better at united than at FedEx with the exception that FedEx has the money and institutional prowess to get robot aircraft 5-10 years before passenger airlines do.

When they start using robot trucks, it’s time to start worrying. How much savings are there when the robot truck plows into a school bus?

ATI back in the DC-8 days. A lot of that flying was UPS charter/over run work. We did some Fed-Ex flying too. The rest of it was in house Burlington Air Express or DHL or Emery.

Everyone is tired unless you're a super senior narrow body pilot flying between 8a and 8p. Oh and I forgot, the rare 777 FO's who never fly and hang on their fishing boats with skinny ones.

I HATE night freight flying plain and simple. I don’t care if it pays twice as much and has more days off. I don’t ever want to do it again. That was the most miserable flying I ever did.

That’s my take on it. Your mileage may vary.
“It ain’t your daddy’s FedEx” , especially after winning the postal contact.

Ain’t it sure isn’t Joe Sh1t the Ragman’s ACMI operator of old.

While i agree it’s a long way off the 2018 FAA reauthorization bill study of single pilot ops was specifically in reference to cargo carriers.

Between that and the fact that 117 has a cargo carve out any sort of single pilot/ autonomous aircraft will 100% start at the cargo carriers.

I’ll take your word for it. But they still do a double poop load of night flying, and that’s enough to keep me away.
