New FCIF just out delaying closing of bid until July 31. They have to work some things out. Computer glitches again? Safer ground transportation? Not enought HKG F/O's filling the spots?

Another posting bites the dust.

It would be nice if FedEx would list the "several issue that need to be resolved." Good luck trying to make informed decisions.

I like how the FCIF says, "in finalizing the details". I didn't know there were any details for the FDA. It's amazing that "details" are just being finalized three days before a new domicile is supposed to start up.

The really amazing thing about all this as that we have people bidding it without knowing the answers to the questions, indeed without knowing what all the questions are.

Actually, on second thought, it's not amazing at all... Same thing happened with HK... and neither manglememt nor the pilot group did anything different here.

For all those "Bidding in the Blind" don't expect FedEx to step up to the plate and do the right thing either. Management will squeeze every last penny out of you and let YOU fund their expansion!

And with the BARACK OBAMA printing press ramped up at warp speed don't come crying back hear next year when the USD is worth .50 EUROs complaining that that your housing allowance isn't covering a fraction of your rent!

So ... does this latest "canceled bid" (I know it's not technically canceled YET), mean that management isn't being honest with us or that management is simply incompetent?

When will they tell us exactly what things they overlooked and need to reconsider now?
