Not to mention, the whole FedEx operation is dependent on a flawed business model that looks like its about to come crashing down all around Fred very soon. UPS will probably buy what's left of it and staple the FedEx guys to our list.

FedEx probably only has a few good years left due to Fred's short-sightedness.

Capt Crock....you're really just a lurker right? Starting the 4th grade in about 2 weeks?

Alert Fred's security staff..the stalker is freaking out! I'm guessing the only choice you had was whether or not to reapply after FedEx turned you down. I'm starting to wonder if you even are a UPS pilot as I am sure the psych eval would have shown your obsession with Fred Smith. Time to paint over all the Fred Smith articles on your wall and call a good shrink Capt, and stop skipping the lithium!!

Captain Kook, one other thing. Are you saying that anybody who's ever had to sit sideways on a DC-8, 727, 747 or DC-10 is a loser? And, because you don't sit sideways, you are no longer a loser? Is that about it?

HAHA.

My whole post was obviously tongue in cheek, but I knew that you two nut jobs (AerisBuller and FreightDogwhatever) would retort with a swift and immediate defense of your hero Fred. HAHA.

Just kidding guys. Relax, have a beer, take a joke.

HAHA

Don't waste your time AA the dude works for a trucking company. UPS has 100 years on Fred and 1/4 the airplanes. And lets not get into the color scheme.

Captain Croak, before you go back to that lemonade stand you're running, how about a few more HAHA's. BTW, I'm not defending Fred and he's not my hero. I'm saying you're acting like a 4th grader....repeatedly.
