[QUOTE=A300jetflyer;919376]Have you ever done any research on OUR company history? If not I suggest you do so.

I can assure you that OUR colors have always been PURPLE, ORANGE, and WHITE.

During my 35 year tenure I have seen many different paint schemes, but they have all been P,O,&W[/

I think he was quoting Joe Kernen but I haven't been here 35 years so I'm probably wrong.

Your 35 year tenure is displaying a commensurate acuity level with your quote my friend. He was talking about the comment from the interviewer (Kernan) and his lack of knowledge regarding FedEx. Did you really think one of our own pilots wouldn't know our colors? Come on man!

My apologies. I missed the quotes. I was still on my first cup of coffee. Hit deserved.

Stay safe and Merry Christmas

You are right about that....these looked like two junior cub reporters who just learned how to add and subtract....

Joe is always like that, I feel like I have a barbed wire wedgie every time I watch him...makes you wonder who's nephew he is to have gotten that job. Carl Quintanilla is pretty good, and Becky Quick is decent eye candy....for a financial whiz.

Overall, most of CNBC's shows are painful to watch, guess that's why Carl is starting to show up in other places (Today Show). Plan B in effect!

You can't get into the crotchety old man club here if you admit when your wrong. I think that's in their By-Laws.
