Good luck on the new gig and remember, once a freight dawg, always a freight dawg!! Just ask all the SWA, NWA, DAL, AAL and other pilots who were dawgs once and still every once in a while show it! |
I still love my coffee as black as sludge, bitter and 7 hours old. That's all I remember finding in the overnight abandoned FBO's while watching some guy throw bags of checks into his hatchback. (Come to think of it...it's about the same variant as what I find in the forward galley these days.)
I remember my first night on the job...I pulled up to a Chevette hatchback...a guy with a Frankenstein limp scurries my way. I thought for sure I'd be murdered by axe, dismembered and never seen again. It was a scary sight...almost reminiscent of a shady drug deal. And that didn't even involved the scary flying parts. Anyway...I survived...somehow.
I don't miss wearing long underwear, 2 pairs of pants and a snow suit because of the leaky airframe and janitrol heater that quit every leg.
I've got a lot of respect for those guys in their Baron's, Chieftan's, 310's and MU-2's...blasting off on their last leg home at 0700 every morning. I know what they've been up to all night...and it aint easy.
