1. I believe UPS and FedEx fly 365 a year. There are no holidays or weekends. Every day is the same.
2. FedEx si send new hires to the MD-11 in ANC at the moment. Can change tomorrow.
3. Fedex has great rules concerning changing schedule, picking up/drops.
4. Not sure of UPS but FedEx announced in Wall Street Journal acticle about two months ago that its pension funds were 87% funded, whatever that means.
5. We do stay in very nice hotels....FedEx.
