Most likely, if someone here knew, it would be considered inappropriate to discuss while negotiations are ongoing.

Wasn't looking for numbers...if it's a contract, there should be a posting of some sort where prospective bidders can find info about the offer. No priviledged info there.

Actually, FedEx already has the contract. It is being flown by Irish pilots in Chineese aircraft somewhere out of Africa

Maybe

Maybe that's why FedEx Pilots will now fly the stuff in the Carribean.......maybe those other guys didn't have the quals to fly postal freight.

Or maybe our "Best in the world" scope clause we bought with the cr@ppy LOA finally kicked in
