Are there many trips that have deadheads? Are there ever deadheads on company metal or is it on the pax airlines?

Right now I live in MSY, so getting to MEM would be pretty easy. I probably won't settle here though. HKG sounds adventurous as I'm single. I'm from the DFW area so I may move back there. I know you opened IND somewhat recently. Is there ever talk to open more bases where Fedex has a sorting facility? AFW, OAK, EWR come to mind.

Thanks

Has anything changed with the new TA? With so many commuters how hard is it to get a trip with deadheads as a junior guy? Reading between the lines, it seems it isn't too hard to get pairings with a DH on one end or another.
