In all seriousness...I would bid SIBA to HKG for the experience and enjoy trying it...knowing that I'd be gone 2-2.5 weeks and not a month. I know SIBA is an expensive headache at times for the company. However, I'd bust my butt, enjoy the experience, and do all I could to make it work. Then I'd come HOME and feed the horses and bring the girls their Chinese trinkets and thank God that I worked at a company as great as FDX. (Really).

What is the difference in that and "sucking up" two more weeks at perdiem for the team? The idea of non-voluntarily getting sent away just creates a very negative knee jerk emotional response in me, and judging by the hub meetings and subsequent message board stuff it does in a lot of other people too. I lived that life for Uncle Sam...proudly. However, doing it for the shareholders just makes me resentful.

In fact--I think that if you did SIBA Hong Kong until it was filled it WOULD go senior, and our MEC would be correct. As others have said...we'll see what develops..
