FDX-parking
 
Fedex must have bought a towing company

Starting Monday, improperly parked vehicles are going to be towed off-site with some financial repercussions

More harrassment, The fees are outrageous. It's too bad they aren't capable of anything postive.

I wonder what constitutes "improperly parked"! What if I have a note from my mechanic?

Another Contract negotiations distraction? Suspicious timing?

What if my car "landed" at the wrong airport by mistake?

So I guess the chuckleheads that make their own spots at the end of the row might have to walk some now. It might reduce their BMI to 39 so there's that:)

Maybe they should have towed the Indy deice truck that caused a safety hazard...

I've seen plenty of cars on the diagonal hashed lines that designate the separation between the parking spaces and the drive lanes, and quite a few in the drive lanes themselves. I think they qualify as "improperly parked". Hey, why bother driving to a real parking space when you can park 10 feet away from the gate? :rolleyes: Frankly, I think those individuals make us all look bad.


BUT ... the timing ... that's another story. :mad:

Hey - Christmas is coming up. All those MEM bubbas jumpseating to Grandmas house need a place to park. :eek:

Can you say "abandoned?"
 
If "improperly parked" is defined as 3+ flat tires and/or a giant weed growing through the bumper, then I say go for it.

Some of the primo spots have cars permanently "parked" in them.

Ditto what Tony said: they make us look bad.

...wonder how this will affect the O/B lot.......particularly when the lot is full and I'm guessing we don't have 300 O/B's a day.......
