These guys treat you like crap, make you watch cargo in biting cold & horrible heat, pay you rap, sleep schedule & health go downhill. Just way too many negatives in today job market where pilots have a choice.

Always making sure the load team did not load the airplane the wrong way, or loaded hazmat without you checking it. I don't remember how many times they tried to kill me. I had my fair share of 35*C + without A/C or -5*C without a heater. New loading procedures are about to be implemented that will make the Pilots work more.
