I can see you are quite taken with Fred. Sorry, I feel like I kicked your dog and insulted your wife or something and personally insulted you. Feel free to love Fred all you want. It's really okay with me.
Dear Dear Capt Cook,

I'm soory you cannot uphold the ethics and standards of your self chosen moniker. Instead of a bold, honest and self critical pioneer, you chose to be a shallow, sniping whiner. Change your avatar or change your tune.......if you have any integrity or ethics at all at all. cheers

After reading your posts, I'd bet you couldn't.

TimoC,

Regardless of what you think about FS, this is at least the second time since January 2009 when you joined this forum that you have taunted fellow pilots about potential furloughs.

Very, very cool.

Default Wouldn't this scenario be great.

UPS announces that it will take over the delivery slots for the 777's that Fred is using to extort the government with.


At UPS there is Union loyalty with the Teamsters and the IPA. What does the pilot group at Fed Ex think about this?

Fed Ex is retiring alot of aircraft in the next few years. MD-10's are not new aircraft after conversion. If Fred cancels the 777 and the economy rebounds which we all know it will. This would hurt Fed Ex bad due to lack of lift.

Nice Sabre Rattling Fred. Not a good choice though.

Fred is a smart guy and he has alot of other smart guys working for him. If you think that Fred hasnt thought about all the possible scenarios and then FedEx's responses to those scenarios, you would be underestimating the man, the myth, the legend of FRED. Let him do his stuff, he knows what he is doing, he knows how to tweak the stooges up for reelection soon.
