Default Japanese Speaking FedEx Pilots

おはようございます (good morning)

Looks like the company is looking for a few pilots who can translate for an upcoming meeting. No where in the FCIF did it mention pay - so here's your chance to negotiate on your own!

The one guy that I know that has these particular 'special skills' is going back on active duty (stationed in Tokyo) starting on the 16th--3 days before meeting in Memphis. Doh!

Cheers,

After a long night of drinking, I can speak Japanese or is it Chinese. Either way, I don't think they will need my help.

Japanese, Memphis-ese.....aren't they exactly the same thing? Besides, we're FedEx, we don't need to speak no freakin' Japanese, let them speak Engrish, like the rest of us. Better yet, let's just send a few of our women negotiators over there (to a mostly male based society) to negotiate whatever it is that we're negotiating.

I'm thinkin' we're not negotiating anything. I'm thinking it has something to do with the accident.

So you don't think we're negotiating on that accident? Really? You're probably correct though.

No money, but when he retires, he will receive total enlightment. So he'll have that going for him. (which is nice).

Or maybe one of those wonderful, year end "Atta boy" letters from management. (i.e., thanks for saving us a bazillion dollars this year. I hope this email is enough for you)
