If its the one I saw on NatGeo on an overseas layover earlier this year, its junk! Very sympathethic to Calloway, if you ask me!

I'll bet the boys in the Atlanta Federal Pen. can't wait to see the show, AND give Calloway another beating.

Not too sure if it is just the programming in my area, but my listing shows about five "Air Emergency" documentaries starting at 1900, all different.

They really downplayed the whole flying into the Hub part, and also the why he was getting fired part. I don't know what kind of retirement/disabilty the crew got, But I hope Fred sends them a christmas card every year.

The amazing part was that he timed out by One minute and his crew was replaced on the trip. Him attacking from behind with the crash axe against only two people, one female, and there would be no FedEx.

I undertand it that Auburn asked the Capt of the flight he timed out on if he wanted him to change the time to stay legal!

They totally downplayed Auburn and was somewhat too sympathetic for me! It was nice to see Col Sanders, Jim and Andy talk about their experiences, especially Jim!

From what I understand from a source in Crew Pay, they are still on full salary.

That's the way it should be. Good for FedEx to take care of it's folks.
