Lots of cities In Europe that I had planned on flying when I got senior are now being done by that 737 outfit. Go to local FedEx place and see how many FedEx couriers are still there, almost zero. They are dismantling what we were to become the Uber of airfreight. Little capital involved other than some sort facilities and the technology to run them.
This, all over. I knew my Express driver and got to know a few counter people at my shipping center. All have retired or quit since, forced out or it’s been too painful for them to keep working here. Hiring cheap labor when they do, one step above McDonald’s.

My Express driver’s truck just said Ex on the hood, the Fed was washed out. Been that way for years. Really foreshadowed the future.

Joe Flipperhead’s Contracted Service Provider trucking delivered some expensive aircraft paint to me the other day, the arrows on the box are supposed at your front door right???

We have no brand now and what’s left will be carved up more now that Fred is gone.

I picked a random day next week and did a search on the Jumpseat page for direct flights out of Paris to Europe/ME. This is what it listed:

Dubai x2
Istanbul
Stansted x2
Milan x2
Frankfurt x2
Cologne
Liege

PD also assured us of this - that's why I believe every word of the negotiations update to be heartfelt and legitimate. Every month of contrived 4A2C also builds my trust and faith. I'm purple for life now.

Those with poor reading comprehension he said if 757 are flying in Europe our MEM crews will fly them. How many 757 are flying our routes? ASL are flying 737!

Not a company ship but the devil is the details.

Parse it any way you like but it was an obvious attempt to mislead and deflect and therefore a direct insight into his character. Besides, don't we just do narrowbody and widebody around here (with the except of the big A380 lie)? Are we starting to see the long-term trend here?
