SHEDDRIVER
I a cargo turboprop and get paid considerably more than some PAX turboprop guys so it ain't all that bad. I think with my expenses I can get almost as much as some of the lower paid pax turboprop Capt's.
I love the freight work and I get stacks fo time off, not great for the log book but hey I'm getting paid to be at home so it sounds like a pretty good deal don't it.
As has been said the down side to freight is the unsociable hours and I did see someone say no-one to bring your tea/coffee/food. well I want to work somewhere where I get any of those... I'm quite happy to get it from the galley myself (if we had one). Of course the larger aircraft come fitted with a Loadmaster who often make good replacements for the wagon-dragons we lack, some have even moved to join the ranks of the hosties although I hasten to add they don't look quite as good in a skirt (it's the hairy legs and facial hair). Right I suppose I'd better go and prepare my inbox for the flaming I'm about to get from all the Loadies in the world and of course the kicking I'm gonna get in the crew room from Shuperstar and Freightdoggy!!
Happy trails
