1. Most freight is flown at night, nature of the industry. You can however definetly find work during the day or early evening.
2. Both. For many it's a stop along the way. If you can adjust your personal life to fit the schedule there are many that make it a career.
3. Home every morning. Major holidays off or double pay. 90% at our company enjoy weekends off. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We have good benefits and jumpseat agreements with many airlines.
I'd also like to add that first year pay is usually higher then most regional jobs. They cross somewhere around year 3-4 and then the pax guys will make more. Most leave 135 freight because they can't hack the schedule. Some like me love it. I love going to work every day in shorts or jeans. I love walking right up to my airplane without having someone pat me down.
