"The order may be announced as soon as next week, said one of the people, who declined to be identified because the matter hasn’t been made public."

Oh so next week...or maybe the week after next week...or sometime after the holidays...or........... >.>

FedEx Corp. (FDX) plans to order about 30 Boeing Co. (BA) wide-body freighters to replace older, less fuel- efficient jets at the world’s largest cargo airline, three people familiar with the matter said.
Who know that Bloomberg had access to the crew bus drivers....?

Yea, but do they need to have taken the FE Written within the last 5 years?

A330 or 767. I could care less as long as it's quiet up front and has a bunch of jumpseats in the back. However, a side stick leaves lots of room for eating catering...

767's and Shiny New Bikes. (Difference: the shiny new bikes will be painted and on property before Christmas.)

FedEx pilots---I am the MD11 FO heading up OUR Toys For Tots Bike Drive. I need your help to reach our goal of purchasing 200 new bikes for less fortunate kids this year. ($7k short with 7 days to go.)

Click here to donate or learn more about the Bike Drive.

Click here for the thread.

I forgot to put FDX in the title of my original thread so I am posting the link here where it is sure to be seen by the masses. Sorry for the hijack.

P.S. Even if you don't donate, please don't allow the "backpack advice" thread to get more hits and replies than our bike drive thread!

The cat is out of the bag. Bloomberg just announced that FedEx is ordering 30 new 767's at a cost of over 5 billion dollars. The announcement can come as early as next week.
