A little translation :

The interviewed pilot mentioned he was flying sometimes up to 300 hours a month (!!!). One day he stayed 3 days straight in the plane... They could rack up to $20,000/mo, flying cargo on Transafrik. Ex-Vietnam guys etc...

Or is it Southwest Airlines ?

Well, looks like that kind of flight duty times has made it across the Atlantic, with some JB guys willing to fly JFK-LGB-JFK single crew...

Flying is cheaper than taking Greyhound...This business has lost its aura

Not a shaker. The 727 has a system I'm not sure which that makes that rattle.
