FedEx Security Advocacy-Great Job
I recently came across this video and remembered attending this event that filmed and broadcast live on C-Span. This was in the summer of 2010 in D.C.
In the broadcast, FDX captains Bill McReynolds and Mike Bender discuss needed security improvements for cargo pilots in areas such as hardened doors, secondary barriers, SIDA access, training, FFDO, and a host of others.
We really do have a lot of hard working pilot volunteers tirelessly pressing to improve our safety and security out there, working behind the scenes. It’s nice to see that some have so much expertise and are willing to help us out.
Having been an all cargo pilot, I can tell you that among others, these two men stand out, not just for FDX pilots, but for helping all of us in the industry.
Thanks for lending them to us.

Mike Bender retired early due to medical reasons. I've seen him several times since. I'm glad to report he looks pretty darn good for an old guy!*?

The responses are totally unrelated to the OP's praise. If you got a gripe with either of these guys related to safety or ALPA work, say so. The unspoken knife job is in poor taste and unprofessional.

Totally agree. Uncalled for.
