Is it true that you can get free flights if you are carrying the plane's cargo documents?

I heard about this years ago and it may have been rubbish or it may have been true but is no longer.Is it true that you can get free flights if you are carrying the plane's cargo documents?
Yes, it is true!





Just as true as getting paid $1500 dollars a week for being a secret shopper!


Or getting a $50 dollar gift certificate to Chilis just by answering the question, ';Who is hotter, Brittany or Jessica?'; Or maybe a free Razor phone just for clicking on the correct picture of the razor phone.





It is all rubbish!





Now, there are couriers that fly quite often, carrying everything from cash money to checks to official documents, bank notes, bonds, etc. They work for a courier company, not the airline, and they are not on holiday, it is a job for them.


Most airlines have a document bag in the cockpit for carrying co-mail, paychecks, etc.Is it true that you can get free flights if you are carrying the plane's cargo documents?
dont know
It is carried by Pilot so he is getting free flight even getting paid to fly
I wouldn't have thought so - there are two types of cargo documentation - loadsheets which describe to the pilot and groundcrews the loading of freight (how much, where) for balance - and a cargo manifest, detailing what and how much. Both have to have copies given to the Captain - so no...unless it was a more unusual operation, I'd say not - primarily because there isn't a special person on board to carry the cargo documents.





The people that deal with that are loadmasters who stay on the ground - and the pilots.
Not true at all. There is not a special person flying to carry those documents.
