KIX 6 WB's to UPS 2. SIN has 3 to UPS 1. You want me going?? I can go on with a dozen more. FDX may have a weak Scope, but it isn't affecting there footprint at all.

So because our weak scope isnt effecting our footprint we should just leave the scope weak? Yeahhhh that type of thinking has never ended poorly for a pilot group in the past before......

I will Swede. Obviously u havent been outside of the US flying. FDX is bigger now than before Fred retired at Intl. Airports. I see it daily. This sky isn't falling because of their weak scope doesnt match reality. Even in CGN they have three planes a night at our Hub. We have one plane in CDG.

Your weak scope hasn't hurt you yet. Like I said, look at your numbers across the globe. FDX is huge. Weak Scope and all. We have a great scope, but still have 1/3rd your planes on ramps???? Hmmmm.....
