What is Self Loading Baggage?!

Posted on March 7, 2023March 7, 2023

I am a flight nurse and paramedic. For all of us in the industry we have a habit of mocking each other as means of showing affection. This is not confined to the flight world but is common in all EMS agencies, fire and police departments and even in small units of the military.

Here I am… sitting here like baggage on a return flight

So when I wanted to start sharing my travel experiences publicly it hit me to maybe have some fun and name the blog after the term used by pilots who refer to medical crews as “self loading baggage”.

Last flight of a long night with 3 transports over a night shift.
