The integrated freight industry is quite different than the airline industry. However, there are not as many differences from the passenger side as you might think. We are not under scrutiny from passengers and don't have to deal with their issues. For example,turbulence does not rate high concern unless we have a planeload of horses and handlers, or we're flying nasty hazmat. Delays are not as common, no Flight Attendant issues arise. Security is a big concern, and we have alot of FFDO crews. We get our share of FAA rides, as many as anyone else.

I flew for TWA 5 years, this is much better, though the hours are usually tougher. But we're doing much more day flying now.
