Actually, as freighters have become less of an airline addendum, and more of a real revenue opportunity in their own right, I think the image and practice of driving freighters has improved immensely. With the SLF selling their brains to round up the ticket price, and then bitching like crazy about their $19.95 ticket from the Earth to the Moon ( and back ), many find freighter flying as rewarding as flying passengers but without the B/S involved. I work with people who could fly better seats in the passenger world, yet choose to fly freighters each month.
