You Might Be A Freight Dog if.........................

Apologise if this has been here recently, some really 'on the money' ones and probably a lot more to add!



You might be a freight dog if…
• Your airplane was getting old when you wereborn.
• You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.
• ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don’t give a****.
• When you taxi up to an FBO they roll out the red carpet, but quickly take itback when they recognize you.
• You call the hotel van to pick you up and they don’t understand where you areon the airport.
• Centre asks you to "keep the chickens down" so they can hear youtalk.
• Your airplane has more than 75,000 cycles.
• Your company call sign is "Oil Can".
• The lady at the FBO locks up the popcorn machine because you plan on"making a meal of it".
• Your airplane has more than eight faded logos on it.
• You wear the same shirt for a week, and no one complains.
• Centre mispronounces your call sign more than three times in one flight.
• Your Director of Operations mysteriously changes your max. take-off weightduring the holiday season.
• Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.
• You have ever walked barefoot through the FBO,.................................... because you just woke up.
• You mark every ramp with engine oil.
• Everything you own is in you flight bag and suitcase.
• All the other pilots wait for you to "test the squall line" first.
• All the other airlines hold to see if you get in.
• You request the visual approach with 300’ overcast and ½ SM vis.
• You make no attempt to deviate around weather.
