Aww the good ol' days.

I thought kids ran off to join the circus....

Still a good article. Very rare to find something like that. Maybe Lundsford could write one about the regional airline industry, too. Personally, I like the "burger-flipper" pay comparison.

Alright...who's the dufus that resurrected an almost 4 year old thread for no good reason?

Well, "baron", could it be because it's a pretty
good article? And the member who bumped it
probably isn't such a 'doofus'.
Think before posting.....

Good article, even for a guy that flies for a competing company (Flight Express). lol

My bad. I checked in the dictionary and a person that bumps a 3 1/2 year old thread is a dweeb. The person that takes up for a dweeb is a doofus. Sorry for confusing the two.

I guess he didn't bother to notice the Moderator under my name hu? :beer:


Oh well.... I'm off to ban him now... I can't stand being called names! hahaha j/k

I've been hauling rubber dog turds for a while now, it takes alot more than that to bother me.

I bumped it because it was a good article. I do that every now and again when things get slow on the forums.

OK. Now I'll really stir the pot.

A person that flies checks is no "freight dog."
A freight dog rarely knows where he'll be spending the night or what the next days adventures will entail. A check hauler on a scheduled run is just pilot with semi-crappy hours and/or equipment.

Stir it up baby.

Ram Air
USA Jet

All of them have a PRIA for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

If you knew me you would know that I am a "dork fish"
