Keep it as it is. All you have to do is not read the posts that don't pertain to your interests!

May everyone else will stop complaining about us taking over the cargo forum.

How do you think it will effect the FDA LOA vote?

Cool One for All or Allin One?

This is the "Cargo" forum area. There are multiple threads that are primarily focused on FedEx issues. This does a disservice to the rest of the "Cargo" movers and others.

It is kind of like a family standing in the middle of a walking area in an airport terminal. You have to sometimes squeeze by them or just hope they decide to look around and realize that they may be in the way of people trying to get to the gate. Moving off to the side to hold a discussion would reduce ease dropping by strangers and other distractions. The benefit is really that others have the freedom to go where they need to.

How about sub areas for the various certificate holders?

Regards!

Either way, I'm just happy to have a forum where I can pretty much complain about everything! Thanks for all you guys do to make this APC venue stay alive and healthy!

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm sorry if I gave the impression that the Purple forum was a result of complaints or an attempt to segregate a pilot group - not so!

The only reason I put the Purple forum up is that there is a huge increase in Purple related threads and traffic. The new forum is to help organize those posts so that Purple users don't have to look through "other" threads and vice-versa. It's meant to be a benefit to all guys.

Once the traffic is back to historical norms, I'd expect all the threads in the purple forum to be released back into the cargo section and the dedicated forum retired.

I don't mind the consolidation. I like being able to find most of the FDX stuff in one section. Overall, I just appreciate having a message board. I find it to be educational and occasionallly entertaining. Thanks for the hard work.

If you want us to go away we will. Kind of an insult to me. However, I do appreciate all your work to make this happen.

This forum is meant to be an asset not an insult. Could you tell me why this forum insults you?

Exactly, I guess FedEx does not deserve to be with the rest of the "Cargo forum carriers."

The forum does not insult me just all the bellyaching about us posting too many threads. Since we are one of the largest cargo operations in the world, maybe we should be included in your cargo forum. Like I said your work on all of this is appreciated.
