You are not a real pilot

How many more years of flying freight do you have to do until they let you fly people?. You know and get a real airline job.

I know those guys are different. They get tired hungry and thirsty. Thats why they are airline pilots and your not.

Don't bother taking the 1 minute to contact your elected rep and demand ONE LEVEL of safety.

Just sit back and let the cargo cutout happen. After all your not a real pilot.

some one please help this out and post the link to email your rep

I'd rather be flying cargo, if the truth were known.

I'd rather fly people that tip, and lacking the tips... cargo.

I am not a commercial airline pilot but I speaking from a maintenance standpoint having worked in the pax world and now freight and I think it holds true for pilots too. Pre 9/11 and all this garbage we put up with now when flying I beg to differ. Pax airlines had it all over the freight guys even UPS and FX. It was the events that have followed that the freight guys have weathered very well that makes flying freight a much better option over pax carriers. I make far more money now that I ever did but I had WAY more fun on the pax side of the fence doing the same job. But thats the world today like it or not I am fortunate to be working at a great company even if it isn't as fun.

You freight boys are gloating now....pre 9/11 each and everyone of you would have given up your first born to fly for the likes of DAL and UAL.

We all know the truth.
