Thumbs up Freight Dogs Forever !!!!!

[QUOTE=freightdog;90301]You might be a freight dog if...
  • You can easily make the "Early Bird Specials" at the local restaurant because you just woke up at 4:00 PM and the Early Bird is from 5:00-6:00 PM.
  • You have a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign for the motel room door in Spanish.
  • You carry extra ear plugs and a dozen sleep masks in your brain bag.
  • You know the max EPR/N1 setting for your aircraft for that Saturday morning "get back to base to catch the 7:15 AM commute home" flight.
  • On that Saturday morning flight back to base you call ATC ahead of time and request a straight in approach and clearance to the ramp......75 miles from the airport.
  • You have a taxi on "Stand-by" at the cargo ramp for that quick trip over to the passenger terminal.
  • You know that if you're in the taxi by 0612 AM at Kennedy, you can slip the driver a $20 and he'll make that 0715 commute home flight out of LaGuardia (Been there, done that...many times !). Thanks for starting this thread and long live the Freight Dogs ! G'Night Mates...time to go to work !
