The FCIF states the bid "will close at 1400z on Thursday, April 15, 2010." I guess Z is different on planet MEM.

FedEx training mantra - Save a few bucks now and spend three times as much later.
You must have missed the memo...Training doesn't cost us anything.

Business as usual. AFU. I wonder what happened to the secondaries? Intl cargo up 18%, buying more 777s, leaving freight behind everyday in Asia because of lack of lift. Have you seen the open time in ANC recently? And we have no secondaries. YGBFSM

I think the goal is to return to lean manning in the widebody seats. I'm sure draft calls and overage in those seats will soon be at historical norms.

I just had to pay to get the 4th stripe REMOVED.......Blue Electrical tape was beginning to look like a reasonable option. I was going to give my Capt's hat to our former MEC treasurer, but a recent ALPA role model told me he probably already had one since he saw one on his head in the magazine.

Reminds me of the LT that showed up at one day wearing a flight cap with solid silver piping because he thought it looked better.......he was known as LT GEN after that.
