cargo pilots
Package-hauling flight crew
Cargo pilots fly aircraft that transport freight rather than passengers.
They haul everything from overnight packages to heavy machinery, often flying routes that passenger airlines don't serve.
Cargo pilots typically work irregular hours, with many flights departing late at night to meet morning delivery deadlines: Most cargo pilots get used to sleeping during the day.
