Yeah.... definitly stay with Fed EX.. The owner is too unpredictable for anything resembling stablity in the company. One night when the crews came back, he was there waiting with their pink slips and told them not to bother to come back. That got changed quickly as ALPA went to court and forced him into giving them the legal amount time your supposed to give someone before they are terminated. I felt really bad those guys. Most just took retirement when they went under. Most of those guys were former Eastern Air pilots and some Carnival Air pilots. They had been flying for so long and it was just such a horrible way to end your career. They last day of operation, it was the captains last flight as an airline pilot, and the flight attendents threaten not to show up and there was all kinds of controversey. They ended up coming and he when they got to SFB they find their own way home from there. Pretty sad
