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.
