    FedEx 4th quarter LOSS

    I don't think the $891 million was all related to changing the physical name - alot of it was simply the loss of market value of that division of FedEx. It just reveals that FedEx paid way too much for Kinkos!!

    Tierd of it all? I am....

    FedEx needed this info for opening our Hong Kong Base! Whine Lover, We needed this info (see below) for negotiating our Hong Kong domicile. No wait -- we told the company all of this stuff and they refused to acknowledge any of it. The pilot group voted in a substandard Letter of Agreement...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    ivauir, I'm just saying that a $3 across the board ticket increase will not prevent the vast majority of airline customers from purchasing. Now, if you want to talk about $50 increments, that might begin to impact tickets sold. In this example, a small increase in ticket taxes for all...

    Bankruptcy Reform Legislation

    PCL_128, I'm with you all the way on the ALPA-PAC! If everyone would sign up for $20/month. $240 a year per pilot is cheap for access to those that control so much of our livelihood. It is that important for our futures! Let's see - 60,000 plus pilots, would provide over 14 million a...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    PCL_128, I understand your thinking, however my cynical side believes that as soon as that $25 savings occurs, some carrier will come along and try to increase market share on that route by dropping their price to $300 - now labor is back to the same place when all the competitors match the...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    Furloughed, I don't think the Administration will pull the pin on the Veto. I think he's bluffin' ! Re: the User Fee debate - I'm not willing to bet our current system to go the way of the Europeans. The fees have devastated their personal flying. Here's a quote from AOPA that explains...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    PCL_128, I think that since all tickets for the same segment would have exactly the same tax for all the carriers, there would be minimal impact on the profitability side. Are you saying that the additional few dollars per ticket would keep such a large number of customers from buying an...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    Furloughed, What is the current General Fund contribution and what is the User Fee version General Fund proposed percentage? (I don't know the answer) If, in the User Fee proposal, it is lower, I'm against it. It should not be lowered from where it is now. Are you a supporter of User Fees...

    FAA Reauthorization Bill Status

    Come on guys! Do you really believe that User Fees will never trickle down to single engine piston planes?? Pull your head out of the sand! Here's the best analogy that I can come up with: The Administration wants to tie all the expenses of operating the ATC system to individual flights...

    AOPA not happy with Delta

    Snowbum, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your comments are your genuine thoughts and not just flamebait. (For a minute, I thought I was reading InstructorDude's nonsense.) Where do I begin?? If you think for one minute that props will remain exempt once the user fee...

    Jumpseat Etiquette (again)

    Scrap, I think he is referring to schmoozing the F/A's!! You would be suprised the number of times a box of chocolates, cookies, etc. will plant your rear end in First Class. As far as the pilots, I always try to bring some cookies as a token of my appreciation (FedEx tradition). Welcome to...

    Airtran in CASS charging 25.00

    Thanks AirTran!! Just rode on a jumpseat pass tonight into ATL. The gate agent was great, the crew was extremely friendly and I thought the Recaro seats in back were alot better than the other coach seats I've ridden on. Just wanted to offer thanks again for the ride!!!

    CMR Crash CVR released.

    But for the grace of God,... This accident is an example of what could happen to any of us. After reading the various reports (and if I'm interpreting them correctly), I have a few thoughts. It sounds like the Captain may have just completed IOE 3 to 4 weeks earlier. I think the F/O was older...
