...the airplane you are flying was just getting old when you were born

...you havent done a daylight takeoff or landing in the past 6 months

...ATC advises you of a smoother altitude and you dont care

...you wear the same shirt to work for a week, and no-one complains

...airlines hold and let you "test the squall line" first

...center mispronounces your callsign more than 3 times in one flight

...every FBO makes you park out of sight of their buliding

...it would take 23 colors to duplicate your aircrafts paint scheme

...you call the hotel van for a pickup and they dont understand where you are on the airport

...you refuse to accept vectors around weather

...ATC continuously makes you land on the runway that requires the longest taxi time

...ATC inquires "hows your ride now" more than 3 times in a one minute span

...youve never had a passenger complain
 
The only highlight you can share with your fellow 135 buddies is which FBO has the best looking customer service women. Philly, TEB, Louisville, GSO, RDU... And you know you will never get lucky with them.
 
At first, I was having trouble recalling an attractive customer service agent at any of the FBO's you mentioned, much less anywhere else, other than that "Lt. Simms" look-alike on the Signature posters.

Then, I remembered that cute blond at RDU Hawthorne...

Ah, to be 27 again.
 
I think wingnut is talking about freight 135.
Also: Reliant Aviation, TMB, afternoon shift; worth the trip.
 
you guys are all wrong. The best looking customer service agents are all at corporate wings in SBN, its just to bad they won't even look at me in my dirty old tired BE99 and 402 when there are gulfstreams, falcons, ect there.
 
I was at Southern in the spring of 2001. The best thing at the FBO was a new Lancair that was passing through!

I take it there is a new person at the desk? :D
 
I second Timebuilder ....

If you think the CS agents at Southern Jet or Hawthorne at RDU and GSO are good-looking I don't wanna know WHERE YOU"VE BEEN HANGING OUT AT!

:D

...sorry, after being beat around in a Baron with 1,000# of powdered monkey snot (whats in them boxes anyways)sometimes its hard to remember, that there is a whole other side to 135 :p

No $hit, I heard that!!!

I did 14 months with Fright Express back in '89-'90, and 10 months with another 210 outfit in '99. Freight Dogs rule.

Really, driving old crappy planes(?) through nasty weather gives you skills that will last a lifetime. Just stay alive and in compliance, (which is harder?) and there IS another side to 135..
