Well, just send them the link to the "You might be a freight dog if..." thread. If they still talk to you after that, then they are true friends.
You could also drive them by a homeless shelter and point out the dirtiest, drunkest, most mentally ill guy and just explain that if that guy had a pilot's license, then that would pretty much be your job.

Let me help you out here- don't bother. Not many people get it and their very next question will be, "so do you want to be a real pilot someday?"

I love flying freight, but I'll tell someone I'm an escaped convict if it will keep me from having to try to explain it.

Bid on the right freight run and you wont have to splain much.

My neighbor is a NWA flight attendant and she cannot figure out why the hell I'm off on weekends and sleeping at home every night.

I just tell people we're xyz's regional airline...we fly their puddle jumpers...and I leave it at that.

You UPS feeder guys got the shaft...that's all I can say about that.

Explain??? You're a pilot for frack's sake.
As a freight dog you take dis here pile and
pile it over there...where ever that is...tens
hundreds or thousands of miles away...if you
really get lucky you'll someday get to take
the pile of cokes and beans out of the 207
and pile it on a sled behind a snow-go...and
put an outboard motor back in...(don't forget
to fill out the hazmat paperwork)...

hehehe...

Except the Regionals don't pile people into trucks and put the overflow on to airplanes. Tho it feels like it.

Yea, but effectively, we are the freight company's regional airline. It's no different than Mesaba being contractors to Northwest.

My Brothers and Sisters there ain't nothing to Explain. We are Freight Dawgs, not everyone can do it and not everyone is cut out for it, We are the few the proud the Freight Dawg. We are the Cowboys and Girls of the night that keep America running. I bet all the furloughed folks wish they would have sucked it up and taken the Freight Dawg gig with Abex, FedEx, or UPS. Later Ya'll

Tell them you are one of the lucky pilots that don't have to listen to passengers b!tch and moan.

Then say "and no, I don't want to be a commercial pilot someday"

Yeah...and boxes don't throw up on you, either.
