They really downplayed the whole flying into the Hub part, and also the why he was getting fired part. I don't know what kind of retirement/disabilty the crew got, But I hope Fred sends them a christmas card every year.
The amazing part was that he timed out by One minute and his crew was replaced on the trip. Him attacking from behind with the crash axe against only two people, one female, and there would be no FedEx.
