It does make a difference. You join the freighter contract on the premise you will fly less hours and will be free from the 2000 turns ( most during the entire night) that now are part of the boeing schedule. In return, you'll get a 15% pay cut on your basic salary, house allowance and provident fund. And now guess who'll be doing all these redeyes on open time report?
