only 100? Im going to go out on a limb and say there has to be way more FDX guys on mil leave than that who are going to have to come back. I've actually been trying to figure out if there's data out there for how many guard/reserve guys are out on mil leave across the entire industry. When they all come back at the same time how are training depts going to be able to handle it?
On a side note, this funding thing is tragic. Think about all the hotels and local businesses this contingency funding has supported since 9/11, that are going to end up shutting down.
