WWW The Fr8tDawgs you were talkin to musta been jarred up, unless they were struggling with their English
Have never flown an overweight or "knackered" freighter, Cant call M.86 regular cruize knackered!
But that was before the change to a Cat3B Efis freighter that hums along quite happily at FL380/400.
Get more dosh than paxs guys in my current job/ tis longish nights/great fun/great nightstops/great crews.
Business in Europe is growing by 3/4% each year, think its doing better than paxs biz??
The last aircraft I felt uneasy in was a Paxs one!!!
Hope this sorts it.
Sorry for going off Topic on Astraeus but personally in this day and age, its defo a good scheme, when I look around and see the younger people all competing for the few jobs out there. You do need to be prepared and have the upperhand under ure belt with a Type Rating etc. This is 2003 not 1983 when things were bit easier. Its an employers market.
Come freighting!! I was recently talking to a 250hr guy who is so happy at knowing his job is a fair bit more secure than a paxs job.
Best Luck Everyone
