"...I have freinds in the passenger world though and seem to earn more money then the freight crews!..."
cTc - make sure you don't compare apples and oranges. Remember - cargo airlines have "regionals" just like the passenger airlines do. Some "regional" pax airlines might pay more than some "regional" cargo outfits and at the same token some "major" cargo airlines might pay more than some "major" pax airlines. Clear as mud? LOL
