Have you seen the show "Airline?"

I'd think you might rethink that statment.

 

Glad it made you laugh. It's from Beavis and Butthead. Old MTV skit. We watched way too much of it in college, and it stuck with me.

 

DAL to recall 65 pilots. See link under "Hiring News".

 

Since I am the mother only of male people, I have seen many episodes of Beavis and Butthead, along with the Simpson's and Southpark. I would find "fart extinguisher" canisters tucked into my Christmas stocking on Christmas morning. I used the extinguisher often, especially upon walking into my living room and finding teenage male bodies sprawled across the couches, watching TV and eating all of my food. Being the only female in your household teaches one great patience and tolerance for male people.

Don't ya know though, that I absolutely love it now when I come home and find my grown sons sprawled across the couches, and hear them say, "Hi mom, came by for a visit." Even if I know they've emptied the refrigerator and dropped a mountain of laundry on the laundry room floor.

Ok, my apologies for going "off topic", now back to contracts and industry.

 

Don't leave out the "double inverted nad twist"

"You the boys I caught wackin' off in ma tool shed?"

"Uhhh, no.....that was other kids"

 

Easy for you to say. You are right, you should make more money because you are so good...

 

I dunno man, after seeing the way some of our "precious cargo" act, I would have to say I care more about the boxes than some of the pax. He he...TIC

 

That's a great way to look at it.

 

You forgot that broken and burned boxes don't have lawyers.

 

Actually they do.........or more accurately their customers do.

When we have a hull luss, FDX gets sued big time by our customers.

We have Jewelers (Debeers fo example) who ship millions plus in diamonds.
We have energy companies.......Exxon, BP etc shipping core samples from a potential oil field find........where minutes count before a billion dollar contract is signed.

We ship Million dollar (Multi-million actually) Race horses from SDF to DXB or to AKL and SYD. One load of Thorougbred Race horses say 15-20 could be worth upwards of a billion.

We also ship race cars...........Could you imagine if we lost the Ferrari Race car before a big race? like the Indy 500 or the Grand Prix?

Granted it ain't a massive loss of human life......except for the Crewmembers,
but in legal terms FedEx is on the hook for a LOT of money.
