FDX- Break Out the Rum!
 

Check out the latest FCIF. At least there is some good news. Maybe we'll be flying the Bus into St. Barth's!:)

My vote is Antigua......

My guess its BQN-IND with an MD-10

Any idea on how to find out where these 3rd party vendors are flying right now? Grand Cayman, Barbados???

Isn't it Tradewinds?

Its the old tradewinds stuff outta BQN.

Will the Carribean lines have carryover?:rolleyes:

Better yet, will they have weekend layovers?!

That carryover.

Upon furthur review...probably SJU-IND, BQN-IND, maybe some GSO thrown in... Not quite as exotic as I'd hoped.

Nice addition. Too bad the only way I will go there (BQN or SJU) is off reserve when there is a CAT 2 or greater hurricane.

More important than the sun, sand, and rum is the 40 jobs it may help keep on property! That being said, not a bad place to spend an afternoon or layover!

Been there done that. Panel of the DC10. The waves breaking on the rocks while drinking caparhinias at the Waikiki were spectacular....

Or the 40 ND's we just enticed to stay a little longer...........

Ugh...thanks for ruining it ;)

But it's international, so only 1 can fly it at a time. :)

I thought all the ND's were going to the 777.

Ahhhh...That's why we just ordered more of those.

Check out the 777 training letter, only about 3 older gentlemen on it and all going to the right seat. Now check out the 757 training letter. Looks like under current law, the 757 will be domestic only

Take an ND snorkeling
 

So if you get paired with an ND Captain, take him snorkeling and toss his wallet off the boat. He'll jump in after it and you know he is too cheap to come up for air unless he finds it.

I suggest you take out the cash first and keep it. It's money that should have been yours had he retired like all captains before him.

Can't you just leave FH out of this?:p

International
 

While Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska are considered International for pay purposes, they are NOT affected by the over 60 restrictions/rules. Canada and Mexico are governed by the over 60 rules.

Missed the "not"
 

Sorry...forgot to add the "not" to my post. Puerto, Alaska, and Hawaii are NOT affected by the over 60 regulations.

My Bad!! Grazi. Tried the magic button and it worked as advertised.

Big hole in scope
 

I am happy that we are going to start flying to one of my favorite places on the planet, the Caribbean.:) However, upon further inspection I am angry that FedEx has been using pilots not on the master seniority list to fly planes greater than 60,000 for "several years.":mad: Caribbean Transportation Service and FedEx have literally been flying a couple of Airbuses through the hole in Sec.1.b.4. of our contract:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may continue to interline, co-load, code-share, part charter and enter into block space agreements with other carriers to move freight and service international (outside the contiguous 48 states) markets as required. Within the domestic system (the contiguous 48 United States) the use of the above shall be done only: (1) when necessary to expedite or (2) when economically necessary, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.":eek:

Glad we are going to start flying the stuff we should have been all along. Break out the rum indeed!

How have they been getting away with this? All the flights either originate or terminate in CONUS. It's not at all like the deal with the Canadian flying.

What amazes me is that people were unaware that it was occurring in the first place.

Cheers,
Beertini
