[pilotyip]

pampered cargo puppy?

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.

if not a frghtdawg, maybe a pampered cargo puppy?

Exactly. If you join the ranks of lets say UPS or FedEx you no longer have the right to claim being real freight trash.

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.

this must be a joke post

do i qualify as a freight dog if i find myself running across an overpass at 11pm trying to get to subway before they close from my hotel because the company left us on the road and wont get us a rental car?

You might be a FD if .....

You piss on the Cargo Door in flight in hopes that it will freeze in the seals to stop the air noise so you can have a quiet smoke.

An old trick on the DC-8 way back when before they gave us porta potties.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

I guess so, if the "company" employs you to fly freight, and said freight resides on the main deck of your aircraft....

If not, the above MIGHT qualify you for honorary FD status if the company kept you out for an unexpected extra week, and then took their time about getting you a ticket home.

You might be a freight dog if you have ever tried to use your room key to pay the bar tab...

 

[Jurasicpilot]

Might be a freight dog if the bartender knows your schedule and the local lot lizards will give you a sympathy f*** once a month.

or my signature below is a good one.

 

[shortbus driver]

when you load the freight and only put on the uniform when you get to the hub because otherwise the shirts get ruined from sweat....

When in Alaska you fly around in a grid for 2 hours looking for a fishing lodge's strip only to finally decide you find it...land and pray to God you found the right one because you have to have to leave the freight there in order to take off

 

[StandBy1]

You might be a FD if you've ever kicked the driver off a forklift 'cause even tho' yer not certified on the hi-lo you can do the job waaaaaaaay quicker
