Ah, okay.

Because, you know, there are plenty of "going back to freight" jobs that would be substantially better than your 121 regional job.

But, hey, FedEx pilots only fly about 500-ish hours a year, so it may not be worth it for you. :)

A roommate of mine was on this airplane out of this airport as a jumpseater, crashed and burned upon landing. FedEx offered him a job, in compensation I suppose, for almost killing him. He turned it down in favor of remaining with the regional we were then flying for. It is true that not everyone is drawn to this brass ring.

Change it or solve it? A changed problem is still a problem you know :-)

Just saw a boat load of job listings for this company on JSFirm.com today, even for C208 captains . . . anyone knows if they are starting to hire home-based pilots and they are just including the cities from which they would fly them out (via commercial flights) to assignments in the job listings? There's quite a few of them for Florida cities like TPA, MCO,or FLL but I don't think they actually have C208 routes out of them.

Honestly, I wouldn't even consider FedEx and UPS. I quickly found out that the night flying thing just didn't suit me, it takes a special kind of person. One willing to trade money for years off their life, something I don't want to do. I'm not saying they're bad jobs, just that night flying kills you. But hey, I've only made over 70K as a first year FO at a regional, so what do I know.

So then no plans of flying wide bodies at a major? Even on the narrow bodies red eyes can't be avoided for the most part.

Honestly no, it just doesn't make sense to me. There's more to life than money...

But back to the topic at hand, with the right combination of QoL, career progression and money, these ATR jobs certainly could be a job that would be worth looking into.
