So what he says is technically true. A lot more charter work these days. The domestic overnight hasn’t slowed though. However the biggest part has always been DHL and those are not strictly overnight. Early mornings or late nights, certainly some all night turns. My next pairing is certainly wrong side of the clock. Lot of south america out of miami but last month I was mostly Cincinnati and mostly daylight. 5am calls kinda thing. That Sunwing sched sounds amazing. I hope those guys keep some semblance of it going forward. I keep this job because at relatively low seniority (1 year) I get exactly what I bid for days off if not entirely destination. Making an easy commute.
Diluting the night ops ok that makes more sense.
Sorry for the BS word PWJ58

No worries man, I should have rephrased; they are expanding beyond strictly overnight.... Morningstar just does overnight domestic but CJT is moving away from just being an overnight sched and now expanding into charter/acmi. A lot of cool flying on open flying and the sched right now with very little overnight flying (at least for me) and some of my friends.

Alright mate. Night ops is a real threat to us but what to do we have bills to pay and a passion to follow.
Thanks for the reply mate, i'm happy to see some improvement for you guys.
Have a good one

If you are lazy or one of those that slipped through the cracks and just barely passed your PPL/CPL/IR or had to complete a retest one or two or even 20 times, then CargoJet will be a perfect fit for you. What's that saying that some use to disrespect our profession? That even a monkey can fly a plane. Well, sadly it is true when it comes to being a CargoJet pilot. Come to CargoJet because these pilots are not just monkeys, they are the largest group of unintelligent people you will ever meet.
