    In-Flight Refueling

    yes - close I used to "pass gas" in an HC/MC-130P before switching to MC-130Hs. The helos were definitely close. The -47 really use to push us around - you could feel them back there. Of course, we were slightly above stall speed, at night and low to the ground to boot. Ahh the memories.

    Delta vs FedEx

    Funny you should ask... Great post Albie... I was on a crew bus for a rather lengthy ride to a far gate last night... I was talking with a 727 SO who stated it was his second tour as an SO on the Boeing... He went on to say he was with Delta in his previous life. I asked him how it was...

    FedEx Schedule

    well said, but... It might be best to say we have all sorts of planes going in all directions at all hours. There is such a huge variety, that everyone finds something they like. If you like; day/night/domestic/international/short hops/long hops/multi-leg trips/single leg trips/long...

    FedEx - more aircraft

    I'll bite... I guess I am one of the spoiled brats... If the info you speak of is in the green screen, I avoid it like the plague. If you know of some good info, instead of calling us names, please pass it along. Goose17

    FedEx - more aircraft

    dunno I really wasn't aware of what was announced already. I know I have been flying a lot of new Airbi lately... I was just thinking that 26 more "widebodies" for FY 08 was significant. Goose17

    FedEx - more aircraft

    Just passing along something I had learned a couple days ago... I was sitting at a ramp during a standby period and was watching the FedEx propaganda channel on the TV. They stated that we are getting 26 additional wide body aircraft in FY 08! I thought that was substantial and worthy of...

    C-130 crash???

    Passover pay at Purple??

    One could argue... If I am not mistaken, I believe all the MD-11 selectees have had their training dates slid. You could make a case that the classes have been delayed due to the purple nuggets getting trained first and going to Alaska only to come back to Memphis ahead of the more senior...

    FedEx 757's

    you must not know FedEx Mix and match is the FedEx way. We will take anyone's leftovers if the price is right. The most frequent statement in our aircraft regs is; "Some Aircraft". Goose17
