You might be a freight dawg if you begin to resemble a sex offender by the end of the week.

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).

Dude, he is still there.

ATC says that there is level 3 and 4 storms 10 miles ahead and offer you 20 degrees left. You say no thanks and still don't bother to turn the radar on.

Indy approach says there is a line of storms on your course and they don't see a way through it, you reply...no problem, I will make one.

You buy and expensive sleeping bag to stay warm and then are pissed off cause the company finally fixed the heater.

You realize that your logbook says that you have over 2300 hours in Nxxxxx, but the 1700 hour TBO engines have not been overhauled since you got there.

At 50 miles out you figure it is a good time to do the W&B and manifest.

Your company says that if you squawk an item then they will just remove it.

You return to the ramp in your Lear 20 series to fill up your water bottle. Otherwise, you can't pour water into the leaky seals around the windows at altitude, so it will freeze and help keep pressurization up and stop that freaking whistling. Soda will not work.

You fly a 20 series Lear.

Your jet is not RVSM compliant and you have to fly below FL280 despite being turbojet.

A portable DVD player is now required flight equipment.
 
- After landing at an un-controlled airport that has been NOTAMed closed because the lights aren't working, you meet your courier, then taxi up and down the taxiway a couple of times to scare the deer away, take off in the dark and call ATC 20 miles later to pick up your clearance.

- Play Tetris until the flare.
 
You might be one if

....if you're out there doing exactly what you told your students NOT to do
 
You might be a FR8DAWG if...

1. You tell the girl at Prior in BUF, "As a matter of fact that Lear did once belong to Frank Sinatra."

2. You deice your Aerostar with Prestone and a Super Soaker and are looked down on by the guy who uses an old fire extinguisher full of glycol

3. The FAA is distracted from you by the guy who hops out of his 310 while it's still rolling.

4. The Captain you're flying with says, "If we can get 'er in the air we'll shut it down and take 'er home"

5. You unload an Aerostar full of Investors Business Daily to a bum driving a clapped out '79 Volare and at the same moment you both say "Poor Bas-ard"

6. The company gas card is only useful for scraping the ice off your Lance

7. On your employment application you list Prior Aviation - BUF as a previous residence

8. You can get a crew rate on your hotel in UCA (Utica, NY) as long as you're out by 11am. And you're checking in at 7.

9. You're alarm clock and gear warning horn sound the same, and serve the same purpose.

10. On your last day at the freighter you walk into the Chief Pilot's office and say, "Guess what I and the Janitrol heater have in common."
