Unless things are going to hell for some other reason, it should be no problem to do a 10 minute quick turn on a bank run doing everything by the book after a little while on the line.
'specially if the rampers don't notice you whizzing on their ramp! :D
 
I'm sure most of you have heard this one but I have to mention it. I know a guy who, back in the day, used to set a timer crossing one coast that would go off when crossing the coast on the other side. At least, that's what he claims...
 
You're supposed to set the ATIS for your destination airport, turn the volume up real loud and have the squelch set just right and there's your in-range alarm.

About the weight and balance. You have to have it, but where is it written that it has to be right?

Congrats on reaching the world of freight dogs ... may you enjoy the experiences on the line ... be safe out there!
 
Congrats to Floyd. Been there, done that. You'll be surprised how the controllers will get attached to you since you will become their baby. I have a great friend who is also the manager for the MCO tracon and he kept a close eye on all the freightdawgs and takes it close to heart should anything happen to any of the dawgs. Good luck, make the best of it and have fun at it.
 
Back to the wizzin....How many of you guys cary those Quickie Johns or whatever they are called...They are those red plastic things, I remember sportys also selling the "Lady J adapter"...anyone? (Or i guess a good used 20 oz bottle of coke?, maybe Mello Yellow would be less suspecious)
 
Well, JB, I use the Stadium Pal. It works wonders, and none of the other guys in my bases know that I'm using it!

Some of my female co-workers use the Stadium Gal. Works great, and keeps them from stressing!!

"Center, Flight Express 745 - ahhhhhh - level at six thousand."

:)
 
Gatorade bottles work wonders!!! And you don't have to worry about clean-up or where to keep it. I have to carry enough stuff with me, and have problems with TSA enough when going from run to run; I don't care to add to that to explain what the little red bottle (or whatever color it is) is. Buy a gatorade and recycle as necessary.

and to think, I can just "five finger" discount those supplies from work. I once went to a hockey game (play-offs, Flyers vs TB) and this guy sitting next to me NEVER left his seat, not even during intermissions !!! HE had like 5-6 beers before the 3rd period started. So I ask him, "why haven't you gone to the bathroom???" , he tells me he has a catheter in place. I said, wow, you are a devoted sports fan ! Not sure if I would do an indwelling, but a condom cath, well, I haven't found one big enough ! Gatorade bottle for me I guess.
Little nursing tip, if you do use the condom cath, get some tincture of Benzion, it'll make the cath stick better for no leaks.
 
I never got into the whole 'pissing in the cockpit' thing, and I've flown some long legs in my time, while drinking coffee even! And if people are resorting to extreme measures like Foley-ing themselves, wearing condom caths and swabbing their ding-dongs with benzoin then they might want to take some measures to control their fluid intake before and during the flight (or sporting event). ;):o

Although I've heard of fighter pilots repositioning across the pond (single-pilot, obviously) that would use condom caths - I can understand that one.
