How to be a freight dog?
Hi to you all:) .
I am a 22yr old guy from sweden that is very intererrested to fly cargo.. Mainly it is because that seems to be the easiest way to have a chance to fly an older airplane for a living.. Nowaydays it seems like all aircrafts are all computerised! Im am currently a student pilot but in 3 months time i´m expected to be ready for the big world so any help would be nice =) Sorry for the bad english;) Thanks /David |

That's an easy one, work like a dog, work s:mad: t hours, get paid little, live in unlivible places and of course have the most fun doing it :ok: |
Re: How to be a freight dog?
hehe that sounds like alot of fun:ok:

Re: How to be a freight dog?
Simple contact Westair Sweden!!!!:ok: :ok: :ok:
|
Re: How to be a freight dog?
Westair Sweden is maybe a good place to start at.. But i dont think that my 220hrs would be enough though :)
Someone who knows if there are any carriers in Europe that hires Low time pilots? |

Re: How to be a freight dog?
African International would be a good shot too. Based in LGW (Look up Intavia).

Re: How to be a freight dog?
Thanks for all the suggestions :) . I must say that MK has a really nice oldie in their fleet :ok: , oh my what a joy it must be to feel and hear that great Dc8

Re: How to be a freight dog?
MK DC8s all now withdrawn from use.

Re: How to be a freight dog?
That killed the mood :\
If you have a brave heart and a (very) strong stomach you can try africa (you'll need to validate/convert your licence though). Fun flying but hard work. |
...And LOTS of older airplanes. Not many computer planes down there. 220hrs might be a bit slim though, except for bush jobs on C206s and the like.
Good luck to ya.:ok: |

First you have to learn the latin term
"CARGO KANINOUS" Take if from there.;) |

Sorry to disappoint you but MK definately doesn't recruit low time guys and I don't think (but might be wrong) that African International do either, plus you also have to be type rated? |
I will get hired by someone somehow.. I just have to figure out who and how :}
|
That's a good attitude to have :ok: and that makes the difference between getting a job and not. Seen some golden oldies in africa :D
Good luck to you. Hope things come together, keep us posted ;) |
Thank you Exhaust Manifold for the positive comment :). I will keep you guys posted about the progress:ok:
See you around Cheers /David |
8s not so old!

Sounds like you need a little caravan & deliver tulips to build your hour's Then go to the bucket & spade with the glass.
You'll be thankful later when the fun wears off! However, once you have your hours needed and you move on, i've always gone with 'if your face fits'. Good luck. |
Try aeroservice in miami, For low hours pilot you could consider an FE rating on a 727 for example and I believe they have a fair few positions with carriers all over the world, could be away into the right seat.
