The Los Angeles Times has an article about pilots who fly bank checks
around the country each night. With the modernization of check
processing, these flights will be needed less in the future.

"AirNet's 128 planes, many of them speedy Learjets, are small enough
and
nimble enough to pack and leave at a moment's notice. Safety is
important, but so are deadlines."If there's a runway, we'll fly. Ice?
No
problem. Tornadoes? Go around 'em," said pilot Joe Pyka. "We had guys
flying checks to the banks during the hurricanes in Florida, even
though
the banks were shut down. Nothing stops us."

Yea, the world seems a bit different when you have a great de-icing
system, weather radar, flight dispatchers updating your weather/route
in flight on company freq.
