You Might Be a Red Dog if
- The only flat panel displays in your life are on vending machines
- The sheepskin seat covers are shiny from wear but your pants look like sheepskin seat covers
- You grew up in El Paso but have a trace of India accent
- On takeoff roll, throttles to full immediately
- MEL includes underwear but not hardware
- Who needs brake pads when you have (at least one) reverse buckets ?
- The line you fly for is named after an extinct animal or person
- You have the only remaining type rating for your usual ride
- You keep looking at Freightliner brochures and wondering 'what if'....
- Your wife keeps looking at Freightliner brochures and wondering 'What if'...

SD and MD: good one 
+ Screen colour choices are limited to Black or Green & Black.
+ You've logged over 5,000 hours on type and have never seen one with seats.
+ The raw-gut feeling that something is wrong turns out to be that you are not using a flash light for the preflight.

- You check with the reception if the phone is operational because the red light doesn't flash
- You call a 8-day pattern a " quickie"
- You mix up the stack of Notams with the Notocs. Beccause the latter is thicker.
- You think of a flight engineer who toasted some of the 2 days old sandwiches in the oven for you as a very talented chef
- You have a flight engineer

Having flown mixed flying between pax and freight in my old company and my current, here is the best of the old...
- Signing on and the other crew buddy does not know where freighter is parked
- Arriving at hotel..."what booking?"
- Having casino next door to nearly every night (day?) stop hotel and enjoying breakfast with seniors with beer.
- Commuters on jump seat who won't shut up whilst you are trying to sleep.
- Waking up to gear extension.
- Exiting aircraft through A&E bay door, as no one can be f#cked to bring stairs over.
- One fat basted who had to jump from L1 door because he couldn't fit! Hospital trip.
- Downwind landings into curfew restricted airports (Hope tower doesn't advise what it really is!!!)
- Diversions into places where nothing happens until 6am.
Current company....Much better.
