Aren't you sort of still in the same business? Flying at night and delivering packages?

LOL. I suppose that has a good amount of truth to it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You what's funny, when I used to fly the overnight runs from ELP or ABQ back to PHX....anywhere through this area of ZABs airspace....I would hear them talking to the 117 guys on UHF where I could only hear the ATC -side of the conversation, and the only traffic at that time of late night/early morning would be them and me, generally. Nowdays, I hear ZAB talking to the light freight guys (with some of the same callsigns and N-numbers I remember....even heard one of my old Caravan N-numbers) on VHF where I again, can only hear the ATC-side of the conversation.
Sort of a tables-turned irony...

More Irony....
I used to fly UPS feeders into Denver-Stapelton and think...WOW, how great would it be to fly those big jets someday. Those pilots would walk by in their nice brown uniforms and hats. I was wearing jeans and a white shirt. Now, some of those pilots are my Captains and I'm wishing I could wear jeans instead of brown.

when I land at MHR each evening, sometimes its obvious to those I professionally look up to whom I walk past that I spent my daily layover outdoors recreating (swimshorts, t-shirt, Igloo cooler, etc.... smoetmies even my bike). Especially lately with the heat. I think I am the lucky one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I remind myself each day that at this moment, the nature of the flying I get to do into these little N. Cali towns is something I will never do with any Part 121 job, and also probably would do a lot differently if I was carrying passengers. So, I view this a s a really great experience that even though someday I will be sick of, I hope I always am glad I did it!
