FedEx to airlift medical aid to Haiti

Chuck:
I'm hopeful that all the managers don't think as little of the line crew force as you do.
If I changed the context and implied somehow that they did, how would I be any different than you by painting you all with the same broad brush?

They do it because they need someone they can rely upon to make it to move the plane without getting a deviation failure, or checking in for their trip that leaves from Denver while they are still snowbound in Detroit. They also need people that are smart enough to get rest whenever they can so that they can safely operate past when most of you would be whining to go to the hotel or stop the jet because you didn't get what you ordered on your catering.
These people in Haiti aren't going to be late on their house payment because of poor planning and 4A2b. They don't have homes. They aren't worried about what their daughters are going to drive to the preppy college this year. They are digging them out from under a pile of rubble.
When you need the TD you give the ball to the ones that perform.

Let's get this thread back on track (btw, thanks for reopening it, Mr. Moderator!)
Just got word via FCIF the first airplane in is a 727 due to weight and field restrictions.
Any word on the Wyclef Jean angle? (we were delivering donations from his charity)
Let's get this discussion back on the high road.
Cheers

This has indeed been an interesting thread, one in which I've seen virtually 100% agreement from those posting here, something that I don't remember seeing before. So Chuck, could you please repost something like your last post, sometime just before contract openers. Thanks for your help.
As for the Haitian catastrophe, I hope by now each and every one here has not only contributed what you can, but made sure that their friends; families; and others are aware of the drastic need for donations. The death toll is up over 140,000 people, with tens of thousands still missing or unaccounted for. Please, everyone, do what you can, and do it as soon as possible.

Chuck,
Your remarks make very clear your disdain for the FedEx line pilot. It is very telling and informative to know what we're up against when we call a flight management member for "help". This is also an example of what happens when poiliticians are in office too long and how they view their constituents. Perhaps you should offer up you line number so you can separate yourself from the rest of the scum.
As for the disaster in Haiti, I know for a fact a number of the scum of which you speak have offered to fly for free to deliver the goods.
God bless the victims of this devastating disaster. As has been stated, the thugs who have held this country in the stone age with machetes may be one of the biggest obstacles to the success of the operation.
