Pax or paying pax?

Big diff.

Yeah, we carry horse grooms, couriers, guards, whatever is linked to the cargo.
Regualr paying pax? Not so,
(They be more pain than worth)

One time I hauled 540 million US $ from one Saudi bank to the other on a cargo DC-8.

Had 2 armed guards onboard as well as their holy water to bless the money transfer.

Thought long and hard about about topping off the 18 hr fuel tanks, climb high then dump the cabin so the guards would go to Allah forever, then dive under the radar to simulate crash and then cross the ocean to South America.

(Guess the Nazi-Krauts did something similar at the end of WW2 with their sub-marines.)

Retire in Rio with unlimited bikini girls.

Beats the lack of a company sponsored retirement account..
