Oldfr8 got the drift. Everything is a tradeoff for something and the bean counters didn't just add it in. It got costed out and considered, just like the $150/yr that FedEx reimburses for any uniform items (including shoes and socks, etc).

It will be interesting if only less than 30% come back stateside.
Time will tell and it should make ofr interesting side bets and Odds paid..

That hurts!

What a ceap skate. When I was an IOE instructor for 727 engineer new hires I would give them a maglight. People still thank me <G>, That was when you would get 700 a month fla rate and never having more than two students a month it didn't sem too bad.
