I went from a 747 pax operation to a freight one.

The pax job was a lot of USA East Coast trips - up to six a month! That was a 3 on 2 off cycle and it was completly kn@ackering. Every cycle, you missed a night's sleep and while doing that I never felt rested.

The freight job involves trips of aboput 10 days with usually 8 days off. Legs no longer than 8 hrs and plenty of rest in the schedule.

I feel much better now! And no passengers
