Tonytales, I found the freighters less aggravating as well, no pax issues, just freight
, allll kinds of freight.
Miss having a F/E though, always enjoyed the 3rd guy(sorry, haven't seen any female F/E's at my airline). Never forgot lookin back to see the F/E open the smoke port, take a duct hose and stick it to the open port and subsequently started vacuuming the cockpit floor with it.....or see pigs jumping out when they opened the nose cone,crashing into the platform in Abu Dhabi in the middle of summer(I guess 1 crate wasn't covered).
So many great stories, wish a publisher would collect all your great stories and put it in writing, maybe one day...
