dozerf22,

Interesting comments. Thanks for your perspective and innuendo about FedEx's ability to "hire quality pilots" and "hiring nothing but the left overs." The fact is that for some strange reason, these less than "quality pilots" and the "left overs" seem to be able to handle the job quite well, thank you very much. I'm not singling you out for your comments, as these types of thoughts have been posted by many before you. What I'd like to see is a list of all US commercial aviation accidents, over the past 15 years, along with a list of the backgrounds of the accident pilots, to verify that these less-than-perfect aviators, are in fact the main cause of the majority of accidents. Personally, I don't believe we'd see that fact, but I've been wrong before. There was that time back in '87 when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right, but that's another matter.
