Don,
It's true that Fedex was a very different airline 10+ years ago when i first started it. Also true that i haven't changed much in the way of the basic sorts and filters. I do think it can be useful by using the min departures in combination with min dp's / ldgs (ie good intl trip). That's pretty much what i use it for. Could also use the block hour filter to exclude the over 12 hour trips if you so desire.
