Glad to be a freight dog.

I just want to say that every time I browse the Major's board I feel proud to have made a career out of flying old broken down freighters.

Can I get an amen?

 

[Amish RakeFight]

I wouldn't mind flying a broken down 747 freighter.... I wouldnt mind having 9500 hours either!

but here's your AMEN!


I definately see the allure in flying beat up freighters, the rawness of it all.

 

[IHaveAPension]

Although most of the freighters I fly are not that old and definately not beat up, I'm so glad I don't fly passengers.

It was a great and valuable learning experience during the 5+ years I did it, and there were many stories to be able to tell the grandkids someday. And...

I AM SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANYMORE!!!

I had a dream recently where I showed up to fly a trip in my current job, and for some reason they told me I would have to fly one of the old Lear 24s from my prior freight job. It was at night, IFR, stormy, inop radar, inop A/P etc. etc. I was quite depressed until I woke up, and then quite relieved. I also recently got a pop-up rescue trip at 11:30 p.m., which has never happened with this job. Talk about post-traumatic stress syndrome!

Here's an amen for you brother!

LONG LIVE THE FREIGHT DAWGS!

 

[wildfreightess]

I'm Catholic, so I'll raise a glass AND say amen!

Not having to constantly climb and/or descend to find smooth air: priceless.

 

[B747FR8DAWG]

Amen

Like I tell all my flying buddies "Freight Is Great"

 

[cherry20's]

You got my AMEN, wouldn't want to build a few thousand hours any other way. I don't think I want to do it for the rest of my life, but then again, I wouldn't mind it either. Long Live The Freight Dogs!
