I was freaked out for awhile though cuz I knew his schedule took him to Dubai last week.......I still remember my first day flying freight. As I was filling out my newhire paperwork the chief pilots phone rang and his face turned white as a ghost. He excused me for a few minutes cuz one of our pilots flew into a mountain and was killed....all for $7.50 an hour.


Sorry everyone. I just read some more about the UPS accident. Now I know about the smoke in the cockpit. Scary stuff.
