Q: "when are you going to fly for the airlines"?
A: "They just don't pay enough."

This thread is great.
Might have done it up here in AK if...
....the captain stands on top of the airplane with a gun incase a bear comes while you unload.
....the load is so heavy it goes on with a forklift but when you get to the destination there is no forklift.
....it takes two forklifts to load one piece (anyone who has done this knows it's a balancing act).
....you still work the ramp because you need the money, but when it's time to load your plane you have to clock out.
....you've had to unload the really heavy pieces out the back door by tying ones in the plane to ones you managed to some how get out. And then taxi the plane to yank them out the back.
....you've lowered the back door while the captain taxis across the ramp and you rolled the lumber out in one long line, never stopping, never shutting down....all this so as to avoid talking to the locals.
....when ANC asks you for your best forward speed you reply "we are always giving you our best forward speed".
....when your airplane looks more like a box then a bullet.
....you bring your twin turbine home muddy.
....the captain alternates puffs on his O2 and his cigarette at 17,000.
....when you overnight in Bethel and the company sets you up at the "B&B" and the owner says we can share a room or someone can sleep in the room with the marijuana plants.
....you had to fly with a terrible hangover because the beer in the village that night was safer to drink then the water.
....you regularly fly an airplane loaded with cod milt (that's cod sperm).
....your amazing ability to pop up "VFR" almost anywhere in the state.
....ANC center thinks your funny.
Forgot how much fun that was.
