FedEx - airport standby
There used to be hotel standbys in various cities for the B727. I figured that the 757 would pick them up but I noticed that they weren't in the bid pack for July. Anybody know if the 757 will eventually get them when more aircraft and crews become available or have these standbys going to widebody aircraft?

My last pushback, the non mechanic told me that my 'pilot tube' cover was removed.
How did he know I was not wearing a 'jimmy'?
Would that be unprotected flying to depart without a pilot tube cover?
