À propos de cet audio
I’m a cargo pilot. In the industry, I’m known as a “Freight Dog.” I fly canceled checks and other types of high-value cargo around the country, mostly at night, in airplanes that are older than I am. Flying freight - or “work” as we call it - in small, twin-engine aircraft is a lesser known side of the aviation world. Our day starts when banker’s hours end. Thousands of flights move millions of pounds of work from city to city every night while the rest of the country is asleep.
We’re out there in the freezing rain getting de-iced when you’re laying down for bed. We’re sweeping the snow off our wings with a broom at three in the morning. That horrible thunderstorm you heard last night while you were sleeping, we were flying through it. The fog you woke up to in the early morning hours, we were landing in it.
Hauling Checks is a comedy about the darker side of aviation. A cast of degenerate pilots, who work for a shady night time air cargo operation, take you on a flight through the unfriendly skies. The pilots abuse every Reg in the book in their quest to make deadlines for their high value cargo. As the company falls on hard times, management resorts to questionable measures to save the failing airline.

Good humourous book.
It was a good listen, funny and immersive. I found myself wishing it was linked to the CFI! plot a little bit more, but it was still funny none the less.

Depressing, rather than satirical or comedic
I did enjoy the previous title in this series - CFL - and was hoping this would be as entertaining.
This book fell pretty flat by comparison, moving more into cringeworthy embarrassment rather than either satire or outright comedy.
A wannabe pilot putting up with abuse at a flight school to earn their stripes is something both empathetic and ripe for comedy, and largely worked. A fully trained, competent professional putting up with workplace bullying they could walk away from is both unfunny and slightly depressing - and the supporting cast of incompetent misogynists and alcoholics gets tired fairly rapidly.
I listened to CFL in one sitting - I returned this title half way through.
