Interesting conversation about freight,

The company I fly for we work 14 days/ month. Our regular checkin is 00:30. Most flights range from 8 -10 hours. However, Our latest arrival is 1130 am - 1230 pm the next afternoon. 3 of those shifts back to back and you know what tired is. Of course we are doing it in a Boeing 727 so we are crossing 3 time zones. We also do a standby shift from early evening until early morning at the airport. THis tends to go flying 50 - 70 percent of the time. Anyway freight can be great or extremely boring. The chance to learn to fly the aircraft without 175 people critquing you is nice...but you have to get up awfully late to have the luxury. Anyway boxes don't complain!!
