Everybody knows us freight dogs have specially adapted bodies that allows us to handle flying fatigued on the backside of the clock while maintaining an unwavering level of alertness and decision making ability. :rolleyes:

And the next guy who says that cargo flying is just as fatigue inducing as passenger flying, get a grip on yourself.

"RON"???!!!!!! Hey there Corporal Captain.......are you one of those guys that flies as a hobby because you don't have anything else to do and pine away for those days where you were the man?

Some of us have been doing this for a while, and still have a long way to go. They just don't like the changes that AFPC is going to make CBPO do to you while TDY, because of the AFR (AFI). So go to the BX and flash that grey ID and get a grip on yourself.

Lots of not so hidden hostility after the thank you for our mil leave guys on PFC.

Big Business = Shareholder Interests = Big Government = FAA

Not a surprise. The feds have been an extension of corporations since lobbying started.

Safety costs too much and in the end the old adage applies...

They don't mind 'cause we don't matter.

All good until that sweet pairing you like changes for other reasons...

...the gauge on that city pairing changes...or they add an additional leg or two due to system form changes

I don't think you're Fedex, but if you are, are you the kind of guy who flys particular Disputed Pairings because this particular one isn't that bad, and it fits your personal schedule this particular month?

Myopia isn't a very good strategic planning tool

Think Broadly - Fly Safely!

If he was fedex he would be RODing.
