FDX - Question for the UPS guys
Tonight I heard a UPS guy inform center that he and another UPS airplane were using "Company Spacing". What does that mean? Is it similar to MARSA in the military?

We use it when multiple flights operate inside of ATC separation mins. It alleviates ATC responsibility if we run into each other. Often used when joining up with the tanker.

We have ADS-B but who knows what those guys were doing. We don't have approval to do that in any sort of line operations. Maybe they were conducting a test?
