thanks. For some reason I thought they had to have a secondary bid to fill those

It’s called backfill.

They will wish they had negotiated a much better Scope clause. The newer FedEx pilots will wonder why they didn't (Hint; Fred liked his pilots in his jets around the world so never a priority). Now see FedEx painted 73's in Europe with no FedEx pilots flying them, even with Fred in the picture. UPS screeching growth for focus on highest yields, but our future is stable IMO
Anything leaving or returning to US soil we have scope. Its tight. Cant scope other flying. Case law. Look up PanAm scope lawsuit. So you cant scope LFPG-CAN. Other intra country flying has cabotage law that prevents other countries pilots from doing it. We have very good scope for areas we can scope. A bigger problem is keeping robots from taking our jobs.

From the looks of all the pizza boxes stacked 2 high under the TVs in Ops, I’d say that’s about right. This place runs literally like the show “The Office”... just not as funny.

More of a Robert California Office than a Michael Scott Office.

Counted 11 pics which is pretty standard for a 2 months per 2 months, isn’t it? I heard they put the photos up 1 months before and leave it for 1 months after retirement. Seems like 5-20 has been the norm for a while..

I counted 22 last Wednesday. I was curious how long they stay up because it doesn’t seem to match up with the official numbers.

Interesting, they must’ve added more since last week?
Some of the pics I saw in SDF I’ve already seen and signed while in Anchorage. So I believe they circulate them through other domiciles.

You’re better than that.
1. Because you already had and...

2. Why even respond to his (Madella’s) temper tantrum? Not worth it especially since he is unknown. Was my point: The Swede is better than that, as are you.

Moving on, this sweating the assets thing. Possible it could be the setup to part ways with our Amazon volume?

1 & 2 fair enough.

Yes!

I doubt we’ll fly Amazon products a year to year and a half from now.
