Someone has written "Increase Pay"
with an aft-pointing arrow between
the throttles...

You might be a freight-dawg if........

Your idea of light-chop is a lot different than everyone elses.

 

[smfav8r]

You might be a freight dawg if....

You've flown across the Atlantic or Pacific with no auto-pilot.

You've been told you can't land in Reyk because your company owes the Icelandic's too much money and they will repoy the jet!

You've been arrested in a foreign land because your company owes the government too much money.

Heck, you've been arrested in a foreign land just because!

You've been met on the ramp at gun-point in some country south of the border.

You have a girl-friend in several countries.

You've watched AA come close to hitting a mountain down south more than once....they never learn!

You rate the destination by how early the bar's open and the avialability of cheap sex.

Your watch is set on Z time cause you never truely know what time it is..

You know that putting the beer next to the cargo door will have it at just the right temp for consumption upon arrival...

You've gone to NAPA to fix the bird...it's the last leg!

Scheduling has asked you to put the $5000.00 ticket from NRT to DET on your credit card....sure the company will pay you back!

Your shirts are permenantly yellow from a/c unit in the DC8 and you just can't get that smell out of your uniform.

And finally, I just can't think of anymore cause it's 10am and I need to go to bed!

hope my family doesn't see this thread

You know, I have told my parents and friends about the professionalism and responsibility required to fly freight. After viewing this thread and others, I realized just how full of it I was. Who am I kidding? It's about pooping in grocery bags, pissing in bottles, rummaging for food, and overall living like a homeless person. But, there is nothing else I'd rather be doing at this point in my life. I love it. I've got one:

You know you're a fr8dog when you're on your balcony, drinking a beer, and parents loading their kids up for school point up at you and say, "you see, that's why you stay in school".

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

 

[Wankel7]

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.

[Lear Wanna Be]

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

 

[Bringupthebird]

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."

Oh $hit that is f@#*ing hilarious. :laugh: !


EDIT: You might be a FR8DOG if...

I'm sitting in the right seat because I paid $15,000 to sit there.
