[MACH-TUCK]

"Your work clothes" and your "work" clothes are the same!

 

[JediNein]

When you're glad Chuck Norris is not a freight dawg, 'cause he'd just kick the cargo to the destination. And it'd arrive early, and in as many pieces as Chuck desired.

 

[Fedora]

If your crew stands in the unmoving hotel elevator for 30 seconds before someone realizes that you're so tired that no one pushed a button.

 

[RefugePilot]

If you stopped taking your sunglasses home during the week.

You don't get to see it during daylight.

 

[b707guy]

You're all dressed and ready to go when your PFE knocks on your door and says "Did you hear what just happened?"...

 

[TxPilot0878]

Youve ever gotten paged and called numerous times before your green....and the 1st thing you hear when you call is "AMERISTAR MARK"....at that point you realize your a freight dawg and that it is going to be a very LONG DAY!!!!!

[Leargear]

When breakfast is pizza and beer and dinner is cereal.....

 

[727C47]

when you stop at a stoplight driving home,and wake up to find its green,and everybody behind you is honking....

 

[b707guy]

...if your idea of a good on-the-road exercise program is the 9 a.m. climb into bed after a carb, fat, and sodium rich "dinner".

 

[richav8ter]

You have been told you've sinned, for thou shalt not turn on course before passing the tower. ( RDU, ATL or any place with a midfield CT)

What you said speed and alt permitting?

 

[Fedora]

You're running two hours late and no one cares about f**king connections!

ATC asks for a ride report and your response is: "no complaints from the back"

Breakfast is the most important beer of the day

Your taxi driver has no idea where on the airport to take you.

 

[Mahi]

You've been through LRD customs enough to know that the "tall" urinal will flush and spray water all over you when you walk up. So you use the short one and laugh at the copilot who doesn't know better.

-if you know "AMERISTAR MARK!,"
-"They put the Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies away!,"
-"The Crew car is broke and magically fixes itself when the red carpet is rolled out!,"
-"You ask for descent hotels and you are quoted an hourly price!,"
-"When the guy you are flying begins looking attractive(fuc*oph...yall know after 20 days on the road its time to see women)!,"
-"When you don't recognize a single girl on FBO Hotties.com!"
-"When you walk up to the hotel and the girl behind the counter takes a "Cigarette Break",'!
-"When myspace.com is your idea of meeting the local girls!,"
-"When TOWER tells you to park in the back 40!,"
-"When the hotel manager comes to your room and asks that you stop looking at THOSE kinda websites...and you are using wireless!"

I MISS IT!!!!

 

[Way2Broke]

Man I love this thread. Its one of the Flight Info classics. What a great way to burn hours when you should be sleeping but can't because your internal clock is so screwed because you angered the pager gods.

And you might have been doing this too long if you know where customs in LRD used to be. (across the field)

When it takes you 38 hours over five days to get from the east coast to the west coast...you might be a freightdog

 

[727gm]

You might be a freight dog if:

You fly a four-engined glass-cockpit airliner from Western Europe to Southeast Asia and the crew meals and drinks are kept in styrofoam and plastic picnic coolers strapped to the floor.

I am not sure you can still be considered a freight dog any more if your company provides in flight meals or you fly a glass cockpit. Next thing your going to tell me is you don't have to unload your own plane.
