You guys seem to forget, Pizza was actually a Captain on the 747 before he got hired at FedEx. Evidently that makes him more qualified than the other 4700 pilots at FedEx, who were never Captains of 747s, let alone any other aircraft, before they were hired at FedEx.
The sooner you understand that the sooner you will appreciate the wisdom of Fresh Hot Pizza.
We are lucky to have a pilot of his experience and FAR knowledge on the property.
