[QUOTE="FrigidFTSup, post: 1896833, member: 58894"] We don't have an air feeder. Comes in a small feeder aircraft from a gateway. Our Feeder drivers are fantastic. Lives on the line? I hold a commercial multi engine pilot's certificate and I'm type rated on the Canadair Regional Jet. Flying is incredibly safe. You have a higher risk of bodily injury in a package car than a pilot does in an aircraft by a massive margin. The reason people think flying is unsafe is because it's not 1 or 2 people that die in a crash, it's 150. Cargo is a dream for most pilots. No annoying passengers. Average 2 flights a day to airports that are completely dead because of the times. It's fantastic. Some drivers at my center look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them my schooling and the aircraft licenses I hold, yet I took a job in management. I would take a pay cut going from being a PT Sup to a FT regional jet pilot. Can't really do that with the debt required to learn how to fly. Running an airline is extremely cost intensive. The average American Airlines flight only makes something like $124 profit. Those regional jets usually don't make any money. [/QUOTE]
