This sure sounds awfully familiar, having watched two brothers scratch and claw their way into the business. One of 'em lucked into a corporate flying 'promotion' from his A&P job. The other flying bank receipts for peanuts when Mickey D's would have been more lucrative, but without getting those hours. Both fly big iron now; one has often talked about getting back out to flying small stuff again, but the wear and tear of freight/baggage handling that goes with it is better suited to younger backs and bodies. I truly admire the guys who are still doing that stuff daily with aging bodies.
