No luck needed it will go senior even with that language!

Problem is I'm really not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.

Actually, the FCIF said EMEA....which is an acronym for Europe, Middle East and Asia....variation .....Europe Middle East and Africa in some circles. I think they could have narrowed it down a little bit more.

EMEA is a company region just like APAC. I believe it's how the management structure is setup, I think everyone is taking this a little too far but then what do I know. I think it's yet another FedEx Acronym just to screw with the Non-mil types and to confuse the Mil types since there are already too many acronyms in their head.

If you like sitting reserve and working more days per month I say widebody CA.

But scheduling will be asking you questions like, "Sooo.....Do you like gladiator movies?"
