Question Former FDX employee alleges safety concerns w

Enterprise Vulnerability Study, By Guy Cobb, updated on January 30, 2010

The FAA just spent millions of dollars resurfacing RWY 27 at Memphis, but a former FDX employee claims that the runway is structurally unsafe. Why? Mr. Cobb alleges that a tunnel underneath RWY 27 was constructed improperly, and it is structurally unsafe for the larger and heavier cargo aircraft that FDX plans to use in the future.

Cobb’s report is very interesting reading. He has obtained pictures, mechanical diagrams, satellite photos, and other information to substantiate his claim.

Oh.. and by the way… Mr. Cobb was fired from FDX after pushing this issue.

OSHA is currently investigating this as a possible AIR21 case.
