Here is the second part. After YEARS of carrying fedex guys around with NO reciprocal agreement, you are going to give one of our guys an ear full because you drew the short straw with the captain that day? Seriously? I know that it wasn't your guys fault we couldn't ride but I kinda miss all the chili's gift cards and the bags of goodies you all used to bring to us out of guilt. I however never ride on fedex. Never. No need to since I don't commute and my family cant ride on them. I have however transported hundreds of fedex guys all over creation to get them to MEM. And sometimes I have had to go above and beyond to get them on board (because thats what you should do). I just think its a little to much to give the next 9e guy on your plane an earful for something he has no idea about or control over.
Sorry to set you off too...man you guys are touchy. First of all, thanks for all you do for us FedEx guys and your correct I should have said "give the next guy and earful" in a better way and I apologize. I should have said " I gotta ask the next guy, How in the heck can you be weight restricted on a clear day on a 200 mile trip and leave a paying customer and my whiny butt too?" All kidding aside I appreciate the job you guys do, and I have the utmost respect for each of you. Also for the record, I didn't actually break the slide so the other guy couldn't ride my jumpseat.....I made my first officer do it.
