Let's Hear it Folks ! You Might be a FR8DOG if......

...If the FAA inspector walks the other way because he doesn't want to deal with all of the paper work that would be involved...

When your night time exceeds your day time.

And single pilot night IFR with no autopilot, is there any other way?

ATC advises you of a better ride at another altitude, and you don't care!

You know you are a freight dog when the only reason you want to go to the airlines is for the coffee and snacks in the back.

....if as the junior guy youre advised by maintenance that the aircraft you are to is the baron on a "progressive" oil change...

.....your sitting in an RJ looking at the floor wondering what it looks like in the cargo config.

Hello,

When TRACON vectors you number one ahead of all the 121 heavies for the ILS after a cell has passed over the field.

If the line guy rolls up the red carpet when you announce "Hi! We're here to pick up freight!"

If the sound of a pager (or anything similar) on TV or the radio makes you jump out of your skin (even for months after you move on to a non-pager job).

You know you're an ex-freight dog if:

You wake up in the middle of the night because you heard your pager go off, then realize you don't have a pager anymore.

You instinctively want to hand-fly the much newer airplane you are in, even at FL410, because you're not used to an autopilot THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!

ATIS and AWOS wakeup call

This is something that I've never done because I don't have an autopilot... I have to hand fly the beast all night.

You might be a freight dog if:

You tune in AWOS or ATIS at your destination and turn the volume up loud so it wakes you up when you get there.

You use that log chain from the prop to wrap around the yoke for a autopilot. All the flight express guys know what I mean.
