Welcome to the effort.
That link is from Oct. I wonder if they’re still looking to use FedEx. I heard United was a much better deal for Pfizer and that’s why we were used first.

I'm sure they'll use all the carriers. I'm just telling you we've been staging the vaccine already.

Pfizer probably realized that Fedex sucks and decided to go with someone more reliable.

No, they’ve realized that the United cargo flights have no flight attendants so the customer service has improved.

As a side note the coffee also tastes better without flight attendant intervention.

No Fedex probably has no capacity to dedicate to it, run special charters and deal with additional hazmat requirements. They are plenty busy as it is with “regular” business.

Probably because that’s their normal mission, whereas UAL is adapting to something other than their norm. Makes for a more compelling story. I doubt it was a snub to FedEx.

Our network is obviously quite vast, but sub-contracting out our work definitely will help get it to those that need it quickly.

Additional hazmat requirements? We carry plenty of items for our massive cold chain supply. This isn't too different; just the amount is.

Quicker we all deliver, the sooner we can all go on vacation. LEGGGGOOOO

We have a Pfizer contract. It’s not “sub-contracted” to us from Fedex, so it’s not your work. All your posts are about the same. You must have the same cranium capacity as australopithecus. If Fedex doesn’t work out maybe you can get a job guarding a bridge or something, early man.
