HI
KlingonLearDriver.....you guys out of the great white north are over the top......we need to swap this week so we can fly before the lifestyle change!!
Hyper -- doing well -- enjoying the autonomy of the position.
And.....you might be freight trash if the person who share an apartment with only knows you are alive because your car has been moved.
(Well, that was the comment I received this week).

You might be a freight dog if. . .
Your airplane was getting old when you were born.
You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.
ATC advises of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don't care.
Center asks you to "keep the chickens down" so they can hear you talk.
Your airplane has more than 75,000 cycles.
Your company call sign is "Oil Can".
Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.
When you taxi up to the FBO they roll out the red carpet, but quickly take it back when they recognize you.
Regards,
FlyWest

You might be freight trash if SLC Center gives you a block altitude from 12K to FL220 and doesn't care if you fly between layers at 15,350 ft. to avoid Ice at 200AM in your Metroliner.
The good old days. I don't have any good stories to tell our new pilots, since I quit flying freight. I miss my cargo flights in the wee hours of the morning.

Gotta bump this one....
If you and your significant other watch a romantic sunset and she goes to bed while you go to work, you might be a freight dog.
If your logbook shows 378 consecutive trips between the same two airports. The one night it takes .1 longer to get there you note the size of the headwind.
If you've never had to worry about a morning departure curfew...
If the approach controller clears you to land on your first call to his sector because the tower controller is on 'lunch' break...
If your door has a sign that says "solicitors will be shot" and the doorbell and phone are disconnected during business hours...
If you love cell phone off-peak hours...
Burning the midnight oil has a different meaning, and it requires an immediate landing...
While fueling the car at 2:30 AM, a bum gives you a quarter because you need it more than him.
You receive death threats from AAA because your third car breakdown was also at 3 AM.
Your relatives on the east coast ask you to call later in their morning, and you live on the west coast. . .
It has to be a really good reason for the chief pilot to get out of bed in order to talk to you. Same with management.
The apartment is a cave with absolutely no light, and you like it that way.
ATC asks how you are going to get to whatever airport direct as you don't have RNAV and you respond "second star to the right, straight on 'til morning" and mean it.
You have perfected the art of celestial navigation.
Your ops specs includes two approaches based on AM radio stations as the navaids.
Fly SAFE!

You might be freight trash if...
...you turn the fbo crew lounge into your own living room.
...you stuff every hotel towl around the window to sleep.
...you always park in the back 40
...taxiing in the line guy points near the door but then sees the blocked out windows in the turn and starts running.
...you carry an empty bottle for the lav.
...you carry spares from lights to starter-gens in the A/C.
...when you get out of the A/C the personell want to know where the pilots are.
...before you shut down the FBO already has a bucket under the plane.
...if you leave ATL and in the climb to 350 from 2000 you are cleared direct LAX.
...you wear more grease than your mechanic.
...eating within 12 hours is a luxury.
...on your second stop you grab a six pack and throw in the back to keep cold for the end of the trip at 5 am when nothing is open.
...and you know your trash when the FBO parks you 100 yards futher out than the corporate Apache and asks you to use the linesman entrance.

You're a freightdog if: TSA hasn't confiscated your leaterman yet
-you use your flashlight to illuminate your panel
-you have to slow your caravan because you have a 50kt overtake on a 737 passing the marker
-you have saturday morning powersettings
-you work 3 weeks on/1 week off schedules
-if you got to wait 2 hours so the hotel can clean some rooms
-if you eat breakfast before going to bed and eat dinner for breakfast
-you're airplane is parked as far away as possible from the FBO
and last:
-Raytheon doesn't want to give you fortune cookies that are part of their 'vote for us in the pro-pilot magazine survey' game
