    Bad treatment

    I honestly couldn't tell ya. The idea of pay-for-training is looked down upon by many pilots, but I've never heard of a Captain taking it out on someone for it. There ARE worse things you can be in this business in the opinion of many(scab; snitch; seniority list jumper to name a few). I've...

    Bad treatment

    You mean the old "Gear Up! Flaps Up! Shut the F**k Up"!

    ...you like a POS any more. (He doesn't even realize you used to be that Freight Dog puke that used to come in there and take minimal fuel-" Lear *** would like 25 a side!" 20 minutes later "How's that fuel order coming for ***; we're kinda in a hurry!"). You ever had trouble finding the unlit...

    If you've ever tossed freight boxes over a tall, barb-wire topped chain link fence at 0300 at some podunk airport (and passed the paper work back-and-forth through holes in the fence), because no-one called to make arrangements to have the FBO be open. If you set the record from the time you...

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

    If you've ever had one of them huge burgers at MRC (Maury Co. TN). If your FADAR (FAA Radar) is so finely tuned that you can pick a fed out of a group of people standing on a ramp from a distance of 1/2 mile while taxiing in. If ATC has asked you billions of times what the origin of your...

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

    If you actually qualify for membership in the Society of Experimental Test Pilots because of all the time you've spent flying airplanes "outside of the envelope". If you've ever done a run into MOT (Minot ND) in JUNE, in shorts, T-shirt and sneakers, only to open the airplane door to snow/rain...

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

    I do remember making the mistake once of getting a ride from Murray to a McDonald's downtown. They actually had bullet-proof glass between the customers and workers. You placed the order through a microphone, slid the money through a slot, and picked it up through a double door system, so there...

    You could while the time away waiting the 2-3 hours for the contract fueler to show up by counting the rats running around the building!

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

    I'm kinda dating myself, because it's been 5 years since I've flown freight. There's gotta be some ex-freight dogs out there who know what I'm talking about, however!

    If you've ever looked forward to a fuel stop @ Omni Air in LIT because of the free pizza waiting for you (and ice cream!) Sorry for the multiple posts; these things pop into mind slowly as I get older! If you've ever been kicked out of Garrett @ LAX because you picked up freight there, but...

    If you were on a first-name basis with Ralph at Brownsville Air Center (in the late 90's/early 2000's; don't know if he's still there).

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

    If the Customs guy @ YIP has refused to come out until you move, because you've parked 10 feet short of the Customs Circle at night or on a snow-covered ramp.

    That's not saying a lot these days. If your airplane and your DAD share the same birth day, you might be a freight dog!

    Aeronautical Pet Peeves

    People who say Airelon instead of Aileron; Yaw Dampener instead of Yaw Damper; Pie-tot Tube instead of Peetoh Tube. ..... Nucular instead of Nuc-le-ar; Toe-mah-toe instead of Toe-may-toe.

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

    If you've ever put coins into the pilot desk phone @ Murray Aviation in DET. (They still have that thing?). If you've ever gotten "into" whatever program The Brothaz are watching @ Murray. If you've EVER been to the Murray shack @DET. If you've flown into DET 200 times, but never have been...

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

    If you're an expert at hand-flying a Lear at FL410 @0200 ELP-YIP while doing the head-bob thing. If the house keeping at your hotel speaks better english than your FO. If you've ever been asked to leave the premises at an FBO because you look like a homeless person. If the smell of popcorn...

    If you've ever hired on with a company just so they would pay for you to get a type rating, then jumped ship for a better job. (Never did that myself, but saw a few who did).

    Lear down in TRK

    Regardless of the ultimate conclusions of the NTSB investigation, the most important lesson to come out of this tragic accident is: when going into what are generally recognized as special or tricky airports (we know which ones they are), be EXTRA vigilant, cautious and conservative. All of the...
