Ultimate Salute to the freight dog

[pilotyip]

You know you are a freight dog when you are hired at a major with out a 4-yr degree in front of pilots with a 4r-yr degree. Why because your prospective employer knows you have done and handled just about everything. You are a master at getting the job done. Story comes to mind of a freight dog pilot now a Captain at Jet blue, his Airbus is diverted due to weather at destination, he knows the pax are hungry. He has been to this airport before, so he calls the FBO on the Skyphone and orders 22 pizzas. How did he know to do that, he had been there and done that before? Freight dogging the breakfast of champions. Anyone can fly an airplane; freight dogs are in a class by themselves.

NO OFFENSE, but why is it that the only place i hear people bragging about themselves on this board is in here (cargo) or in the 135 board?


EGO?

Yeah, no other airline captain has ever been to an FBO before, let alone ordered a pizza. Where do we find such renaissance men ???

well..


He's "been there done that"...seen it all....put his life on the line for the freight...


so he knew to order 22 pizzas.

I'm sure he diverted plenty of times when he was a cargo pilot, reached for the skyphone (because all cargo A/C are equipped) and ordered up a pizza for himself and his hungary co-pilot.

What does being a cargo pilot have anything to do with this mans good deed?

You sir, obviously have'nt drank beer with a bunch of Freighters. Career freight dogs rule. And as for pizzas, I once knew a freight dog who could eat 24 Pizzas all by himself.

i wear my cargo pilot pin next to my mile high member pin.

Being a freight dog is'nt an attitude, its a lifestyle.

All "real" airline pilots secretly wish (and sometimes publicly wish) that they were freight dawgs, sometimes because it was the most fun they had as pilots and sometimes because they realize that even though air travel is going to fluctuate there will ALWAYS be a need to move the mail.


Long live the freight dogs!
