flying freight
I have learned to be patient with the general public when the inevitable questions arise about flying cargo. I wish that I had a dollar, no check that, a Euro for every time somebody asked me if I ever aspired to fly commercially!!
I think that the lifestyle at my company is pretty tough though as we are on the road for up to 21 days each month. The constantly changing sleep cycle is the real demon. I have only flown long haul for about a 14 months, and I am now furloughed. But I can say that it is nice to sleep in my bed again each night.
I really enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere on the upper flight deck, and the ability to move around and go to the bunk for rest.
My company flies all over the world and our 744f are pretty damned nice AFAIAC.
Look smart when in public-be smart when in private
