Hmmm, while I know we made money last quarter, it seems like it was about $342 million. A lot, I know, but an order of magnitude less than the numbers you are throwing out. Where did you get your numbers? Mine came from the quarterly report for Fedex Express.

I disagree. I think the Reps are pro rich people, and are pro the rich people (read, Upper Mgmt, Board of Directors) in corporations. They don't care about the company or the rank and file workers in the company.

On the other hand, the Democrats are the same.

So we, the sheep, get to vote for Wolf 1 or Wolf 2. Most of the people I see supporting the Dems are those who have been blinded and believe they will help the common person. Most of the people I see supporting the Reps are sheep that believe that they WILL end up being one of the Rich People someday in the future. They don't realize it is lottery odds, and they won't make it.

The Reps and the Dems do NOT care about us, and they do NOT care about America. They only care for themselves and their political party.

Don't believe me? Then why has Goldman Sachs been the #1 contributor to the Bush, Sr. Presidential campaign. And the Clinton campaign. And the GW Bush Campaign. And the Obama campaign. And the Romney campaign??? The rich are allowed to run all of the political campaigns, and then the politicians have to do what the rich want, as their dollars got them into office. Voters do not matter in the slightest.

You sir are correct. Plain and simple.

My suggestion is to replace all of them with a troop of baboons. The baboons would be cheaper to keep, less destructive, honest, more intelligent, cleaner and far more amusing.
They might even make CSPAN fun to watch.:D

How would you like to replace all of your company's contractual scheduling rules with Part 117? I bet UPS or FDX could go for that.

Curious as to how you don't understand the Final ruling came from the Executive Branch of Government????? It's really not hard to comprehend. They had the final say, not congress, not the senate, and not the Supreme Court.

While a nice number, it contrasts with this

which gives us $1.75 B for the whole year, and for the whole corporation vs Fedex Express. I have trouble believing the money the tech geeks and truck drivers earn us has anything to do with the cost of safely operating jets.

Fedex can still afford to operate under the new rules, but I don't think your numbers reflect the reality of our situation.
