Ultimate Salute to the freight dog

24 pizzas? was that before or after the keg he drank?

Some say those who are career freight dawgs don't have the personality to be a pax pilot? I disagree, but most don't

I would rather be flying freight in my old T-Prop than taking a pay cut and flying with an F/O who is talking about how excited he is to attend his 6 month Embry Riddle reunion, and how prepared he was with his degree and 257.8 hours of 172 time to come fly this airplane, and how he just gets tons of chicks because he flies airplanes for a living.

 

[T-Gates]

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


EGO?

EGO? Nope... It's called having fun swapping stories.

You want me to go on a rant about 121 Passenger guys and ego-stroking? Just tell me the time and the place....

I think freight dogs are better at finding humor in our lives and carreers. Just my observation....

My freight career was brief, but I enjoyed every second of it...

That's funny

Don't forget how cargo pilots brag on how brave and masterly skilled they are for flying through anything and everything. Gimme a break, we go through the same crap as you guys, except that we have people to worry about. Next time one of you guys make it through level 5 & 6 TS, Let us know. It would be a great story.

Naa, it's not ego. We're just unique and are happy to find this forum to share the holy s**t I can't believe I'm doing this moments with our simmiliar occoupation bretheran. C'mon, where else can you get home open a beer and write about your night where the cloud you were in exploded in fire because a cylinder departed it's engine?

As an aside I've hung out with both the airline pilot and freight dog crowd and the freight stories are by far the best.

As for the fighting words.... Go ask any senior airline, frax, 135 or corp pilot about the value of sitting next to a guy (or gal) who can do all the checklist and crm stuff plus not freak out when the abnormal occurs because he's been there and dealt with it to get the job done.
