Obviously I was joking about the PA bit, but on the whole, i'd much rather fly Cargo than Pax. At the end of the day, people will always need things send from a to b, but the pax carriers are subject to the slightest changes in public opinion. Also, you guys get to visit places that are off the beaten track, which seems a lot more appealing than flying 200 beered up Chelsea fans to Malaga!
One last question though, do you still need an ATPL to fly cargo? I was under the impression that you only need that to fly large numbers of PAX?
