I'll give you an AMEN and a Howl at the moon. Nothing better than clear skies at night.
 
Amen, from the comfort of my all expenses paid 3 day layover in Lagos after an all night flight in my APU broken, #1 thrust reverser locked out, #2 DME inop beat up 'ol barge that looks like it should have "Millenuim Falcon" painted on it!
 
Freight is cool. No question about it. That said, I'll forego the comradery and quiet respect we can give each other for better pay and QOL. Pride in how crappy the equipment is, how hard and dangerous the life is, etc is just the sort of thing managers and shareholders love to take to the bank at our expense.

Patience, my fellow air freight specialist.

We just have to wait until all the pax airlines strike and/or go out of business.
Then it'll be just us and we'll have the power-man!
 
I'm coming up on my 8th month of flying freight. It's been the most fun 8 months of flying I have ever done. 1 more month to go before I move on. I know i'm gonig to be sad when I do leave :(

Thanks.

I sorta figured there was still a little camaraderie left out there.

Who woulda thunk it was with all the ugly guys with dirty shirts?

Fly like you stole it!

Hey...I just washed this shirt.....

Han Solo was a Freight Dawg & he got to bang princess Laya!

Amen-Amen, boxes don't bitch....
 
Try downloading a load of pigs from Vatry to Lagos, then going over to Entebbe and uploading a load of fish to take back to Vatry. Now that's some stank! And of course no APU!
 
Oh yeah?

Try a load of sled dogs in a Caravan strapped down to the seat tracks with a sheet of plastic on the floor.

Steamed up windows, dog breath, dog piss and a pilot who's allergic to dogs.

That was a pleasure.

Another Harrison Ford reference: "Snakes? I hate snakes."
 
try pushing back for a trip from paris to milan only to find out they forgot to put the tarimasu in with the catering....what's that all about?
 
My guess

I'd say the Italian baker's union went on strike!

Trivia: Tiramisu. A contraction of the Italian words Tira (Lift) mi (me) su (up).

How'd you ever get airborne?

Although most of the freighters I fly are not that old and definately not beat up, I'm so glad I don't fly passengers.
