Cargo is not such a bad gig. You don't have the problem of wacko or ill mannered passengers and some problematic flight attendant(s) cooped up with you in the same tube for 14 hours.
Crews from other airlines probably layover at the same hotels as you will... which means you can play with their F/As rather than your own which is not a bad thing either.
On another note however, pay may be different for the cargo kaninous (latin for freight dogs).
