Default You might be a Freight Dawg if....

I stumbled across this on somebody's website and thought it was funny:

- Your airplane was getting old when you were born.
- You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.
- ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don't care.
- When you taxi up to an FBO they roll out the red carpet, but quickly take it back when they recognise you.
- Your airplane has more than 75,000 cycles.
- The lady at the FBO locks up the popcorn machine because you plan on "making a meal of it".
- Your airplane has more than eight faded logos on it.
- Centre mispronounces your call sign more than three times in one flight.
- Your D O mysteriously changes your max. takeoff weight during the holiday season.
- Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.
- You have ever walked barefoot through the FBO because you just woke up.
- You mark every ramp with engine oil.
- Everything you own is in you flight bag and suitcase.

"You wash your hands before you take a leak"

Now that's funny. Have to mention that I noticed this strange habit when I first started doing hot PHX and sharing the facilities with the rampers (they really need an execuitve washroom in PHX). I got quite a laugh when I noticed these guys wash their hands before they pee.

you fly a clapped out Falcon 20 with a single digit serial number that isn't rvsm so your stuck down at 280 hand flying with no flight director in hard ifr and your half asleep, and your captain is completly asleep.

if your company policy is "don't deviate, penetrate or you'll be late."

you dont have a uniform.

eggs and beers is what's for breakfast.

you almost never go to the same airport twice besides a base.
