Yes it is, but don't forget that all freight operaters are NOT like this!

Like most other jobs you have to figure out what kind of company you are trying to get a job with. There are some bad and some good.
It's unfortunate and sad that "unsafe operators" are allowed to operate and continue to operate after repeated attention from the FAA.

In the end, as a PART 135 single pilot at night with a lot of weather flying, it's all on you!

Yeah my mom showed me this in the paper the other day. I read through it and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for the people who are willing to work this hard to achieve their goals.

There was also another article: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...t/15013267.htm

Which talks about the FAA and NTSB.
