Mema300, you really believe that ramp story? When we lose the ones at UPS to FedEx, it is usually because we didn't deliver and likely deserved to lose it to FedEx. Alot of our customers may only be 3-4 positions a night, but lose two or three customers like that and you may lose an airplane. Glad we lowballed and getting the 3-4 positions a night, Right now every bit helps and doesn't seem to bother you. No ego here at Brown, glad we are looking for your leftovers <bg> If you hear of any other 3-4 cans a night customers that FedEx wants to get rid for lack of shipments, let me know. I'll pass it on to marketing
