How baggy should cargo pants be on a guy?
Q. I have a pair of cargo pants that I never wear because I feel like they are too baggy. The problem is the area around my calf and shoe area. How baggy should they be? I like to look nice and not wear clothes that are too baggy. The waist and all of that area fit perfect.

A. You don't want the pants to be so baggy that the pant cover more than half of your shoe. If you like to look nice, then cargo pants probably aren't right for you..

A. I was considering coupling two of these together, the longer ones I think are about 40', as a getaway. They are being touted as cheap and effective housing for those who lose their homes (huts, really) during tsunamis, cyclones, etc., in the Pacific. I recall a 40' weighing somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 or so pounds, and cost is between 4 and 6K not counting delivery, which has to be by roll off unless you have a very large crane to put it where you want. It would be very effective as a tornado shelter, but due to the doors, you would have to bury into a hill unless you planned to cut through the ceiling for access and bury it to the roof. In addition, you will have to do some modifications to the door mechanism, as they are… [cont.]

What is a cargo pilots salary?
Q. I hope to become a cargo pilot. I'm wondering how much they get paid.
Asked by = ) - Thu Mar 20 10:31:01 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As a cargo pilot, you will most likely start in the 25K range, as a minimum, and as time and aircraft progress, you could end up making more than 150K. Its all about the skills you acquire as you progress, and the company that keeps you. At retirement, you could very well be in the 180K area.
