I’m sure that this will elicit much sarcasm, but flying passengers is one of the reasons I do this work. There is nothing wrong with moving boxes, of course.

Apparently, stating an opinion about the critical nature of flying passengers Vs cargo is a major faux-pas. Maybe it’s because I stated the obvious. Lesson learned. I didn’t realize that it would be interpreted as “declaring victory” in some contest between children.
The cyber-bullying that resulted from my post is troubling however.
I think it shows two things: the pent-up rage due to this crisis is significant and the anonymity of this forum brings out people’s true personalities. And they are pretty damn ugly.

It’s just a job and we’re all paid to move airplanes from point A to B. Some freight loads itself and complains about the experience, some has to be loaded and can be hazardous.
However, what is behind the door does matter. A lot.
All I was trying to convey is that regardless of the cyclical nature of the pax biz, I prefer it because of how safety-critical the job is.
People get into this business for all sorts of reasons. I personally find great satisfaction in safely flying people from A to B.
I expressed a personal preference and people flipped.
