FDX: B757 into DCA (Reagan) in Apr. any more info on this?
**From conference calls/meetings** Due to the time commitments into the DC metro area, this is supposed to be happening April (indefinite..). Anyone, have any info on this? 
Is it scheduled? MEM-DCA-MEM?

I was at IAD about 10 days ago. The ramp agent said (the IAD ramp folks may end up working the DCA flights?) it was postponed. I explained the latest flex instructor issues to him. Sorry, no more details than that.

Too late ... it has already been forwarded to Big Brown !
You know how much they value input from crewmembers ...
Keep that sense of humor, if ANY airline was using an internet forum to seek knowledge about their competition ... oh nevermind !
Later, Brown CC

Wow, if only somebody could have seen that coming!
From December thread on possible new hires:

Time will tell.

I suppose you have some secret intel? Or, just the usual cynicism?

I personally don't think it will make it, and I'm not basing it on a reading from Miss Cleo.
Time will certainly tell if I am whistling dixie or if I might have heard and seen a thing or two.

Still don't know for sure, but its not looking like this program will be airborne as soon as they were hoping.
