Default FDX - MORE 777's for FedEx

Just played golf with four mechanics that work in hangar 11. They said that we just bought two MORE Air France 777's that are coming soon. Total 777's by the end of this calendar year will be 13.

The two white ones over at the hangar now have to have some floor modification done near the aft part of the airplane and they are waiting on the fix.

Great news! It's a cheap airplane to fly for WB pay.

Seriously it's great news that we're receiving more.

F street is still a no-go place for any of our fellow aviators. If you need to know why, just ask. But if you want to end up on the floor with your ass kicked and no one to help you just keep going there.......

Word is so far the upper levels of management are THRILLED with the numbers so far on the 777. No tears whatsoever over the cancellation of the 380. Expect to see as many as they can get on the property.

I've seen that punk around, and there's no way he's body checking me to the ground! And I'm not about to let a Bar maid slap me around either! Besides they serve free cheese there.

I bet the numbers are impressive. Once the UPS "spies" get their hands on them I would imagine that the big gorilla in Atlanta will copy you purple guys (as always!)

You know, those numbers were available without ordering A-380's and without buying and flying 777's. A little research could have put us way father ahead of this thing. More money left on the table - again. This company makes money because it's an oligopoly in a can't miss business (for now). For our sake I hope it remains that way.
