This has also included parking 15-20(what I was told) 757s at outstations around the Fedex system due to lack of parking in MEM. You can see them parked with engine covers on in VCV, IND, DEN, SLC, AFW etc. and was told by mechanic they would be rotated with inbound aircraft to keep them flying. I hear the next bid will also include a realignment/reduction of 757 crews.
Oh my you mean there are parked 757 aircraft at VCV oh the horror! You do know we have many aircraft parked at victorville some are in storage long before the Amazon decision and many are non airworthy or being parted out. Carried a big 310 there to be parted out not too long ago.
