Cargo(UPs) vs. People...lifestyle issues
I'm a Regional Captain considering a move to Air Tran vs. UPS. For the money, I know its a no-brainer. I've been trying to gather info on exactly how hard the night flying is. I've seen quotes that it takes 10 years off your life, etc. Do you guys transition back to days on your days off, or...
