This is not meant to anger Airborne Pilots, But any Cargo operator that is so cheap as to not want to pay the extra cash to install a real cargo door on their fleet, and instead load their aircraft with little suitcase looking containers through a passenger door will not be around too long! I sat in amazment in Springfield Illinois, as an Airborne DC-9 was loaded. As I pulled into the chocks, the Airborne folks were busy lining up what looked like hundreds of these suitcase sized containers, as my jet was unloaded and uploaded within 9 minutes, the Airborne guys looked like they still had 2 hours to go! One of the reasons I never even applied..Though I wish them Luck, it says alot about their Company.
