Cargo Kitten

A Cargo Kitten is a term used to describe light-hearted and underpaid cargo pilots who don't take themselves too seriously. They are typically very playful and mellow. Cargo Kittens lack aggressive negotiating tactics which is why they can be commonly found in underpaid and unappreciated airline careers. The Cargo Kitten's counterpart would be a Freightdog. They both serve the same function but differ in characteristics. Freightdogs are usually less fun, more serious, and have higher self-esteem. They can be frequently mistaken for one another as they both are often seen in the wild unkept and unshaven. The major difference being Freightdogs are higher paid. Many Cargo Kittens attempt to disguise themselves as Freightdogs, but you can discern the difference quickly with either a ball of yarn or a quick glance at their W2.
