I think my problem is everybody using "lots" of planes. When you say there are "lots of Fedex (sic) painted 757's in Canada." You really mean "there are
eight FedEx painted 757s in Canada." If you think eight is "lots" then so be it.
Same with ASL in Europe. I think there are also eight 737s flying intra-Europe by ASL with a FedEx livery. Again, hardly "lots." In Canada, and it is mostly due to legal prohibitions for flying intra-Canada.
