Women Freight Pilots

[Westwindflyer]

We have two at ramair and I think there is a new one we just hired. Plus our D.O. is a girl(woman) she started as a line pilot. She seems to ore off a hardass then most of the guys.

 

[PHXFLYR]

When I was at ATI we had one gal who was a DC8 PFE and also PFE Check Airman ?(Air Person??) Great gal. Of course she was known as "The Check Chick"....

I wonder how many people have gone from flying pax to boxes?

Quite a few.

I have moved back and forth between boxes and pax and boxes, etc.

Much prefer the boxes, or rather the pallets to the pax.

Met a female Atlas B744F F/O at "Acey Deuceys" in KOSH a couple of years back. She had a tattoo on her butt which she was showing to everyone at the bar. Nice butt. Average tatt.

We sang "you've lost that loving feeling" to her. She swooned. Someone got lucky (I think).

Two weeks later saw her in a hotel elevator in Singapore and reminded her of the serenade (and the tatt) but I didn't get lucky - now that I think about it, neither did she.

She's out there fellas. Sing to all the female pilots and hey, you never know.

Ameriflight has one in PHX, at least three in PDX, and several in OAK and BUR/ONT ... not sure about the other AMF bases.

 

[FoxyWhiskey]

Awww, that's cute, Capt. Underpants.....

But don't you know that as pilots we girls know what you guys are up to and are immune to your charms?

Switched

I am also one of the few and the proud to have made the switch from PAX to BOX carrying. Very glad I made the switch too......had I stayed with the PAX job (would have been 6 years now), I still wouldn't have upgraded to Capt. It was a "regional", by the way. And, I might have even been looking at a furlough!!! Instead, I have been at the new job almost 2 years, and already made the upgrade.

And, in the immortal words of one of my highly regarded Captains at the PAX job, as I was leaving.........Boxes Don't B*tch!

 

[FearlessFreep]

.........Boxes Don't B*tch!

Well, in most cases no. But they do on occasion and you don't want to be around when they do as it usually results in fire, being incapacited or becoming disabled by being exposed to toxic chemicals. UPS just had a DC-8 that had some boxes that b*tched up a storm!

Still it's better flying freight than pax!

 

[jercdevil]

We had an all female MD-11( Gemini) crew flying between JFK and EastMidlands UK. Good thing that did'nt pull over to go shopping

 

[fartknocker]

There are some at FedEx. I don't know the % though.

Got one in DFW and at least 2 in CVG (one of them is swimmin' in UPS' pool.)

 

[capt. megadeth]

10% or there abouts at Brown. Simple math, with 2750 on the seniority list. Draw your own conclusions.

You are wrong....we only have about 5%

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

I took a Brown girl out of SDF a few years ago...pretty smokin hot. All dolled up like an FA. Then of course there is BL at UPS.

Chicks make better freight dogs becuase they can operate with little sleep. This of course comes from a mother who is constantly awake with little sleep taking care of a newborn.

 

[stupidpilot]

We have 3 freight kitty's at Ameristar 2cpt's and 1 fo. They do the job just as good as the guys and are just as much fun out on the road!!

Are you kidding? The Lear only one whined incessantly about loading freight on the Falcon so she was allowed to be Lear only.

 

[MACH-TUCK]

Theres a couple at Bemidji Airlines. One is Director of Ops, and the other has been flying there for many years. She's in her late 60's and her back is shaped like the inside of a 99, cause she loads it too. She used to fly night frieght in a Beech 18 way back when they were new. She is probably one of the most respected pilots the midwest has to offer....Male or Female.

Did her whining get her fired? Yours did!! Opps! Ate your words on that one.

 

[stupidpilot]

Thank God I was. Now I fly realplanes that I'm not afraid that will kill me, for people that actually care about their pilots. Stay there and get sh$t on. You can work for that lying crook the rest of your life and get nowhere. Then we'll see who's whining.

I have flown with "D" before. She's a pretty neat person, and I respect her flying more than Chuck Yeager, if it makes any difference... She hasn't shot anybody down, but has flown in more weather than any of us would probably dare to. How well do you pre-flight when it's -40 or colder outside? I've seen her do it those conditions.

That's impressive. I hope I remember that next time I get the urge to b*tch about loading boxes or preflighting when it's all of 20 outside.
