Not Interested.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you do any research before you applied?
You know the alternative to a job in this segment of the cargo industry is usually swinging gear at a regional.
Ask some of the folks at Pinnacle how awesome their over-guarantee checks have been lately. And what's upgrade time at Eagle nowadays?
No, you won't stay in a Netjets $189/night hotel on overnights, get UPS catering, or ride a Fedex limo to work. Hopefully this isn't news to you.
Forget the new rest rules. Freight pilots don't get tired. Do more with less. Fly 8 in 16. No, it's not a CDO, a stand-up, or any other ***** term you can come up with. It's just
a day at work. If your day starts at 5 pm and ends at 9 am, you don't get a medal. You drink some beer and eat some eggs and go to sleep. Because that's a perfectly normal thing to do at 9 am. Then wait for the phone to ring so you can do it again.
So, you might have to push some freight, actually do a weight & balance longhand every once in a while, and file your own flight plans. Do you even know how to cancel on the ground after the tower closes?
Shirley you can't be serious.
