Possible Scab Recruitment: The FDX MEC has been informed from highly
credible sources at World Airways that FedEx is being solicited to

Happy Thanksgiving!
It has been several weeks since I last posted. Without notice or explanation, I suddenly could not access ANY page of FlightInfo, although I was logged on. Seeing what we had until then called "Limbo" from that side of the proverbial fence was an unsettling experience. I...
Jose Pacheco
I was climbing into bed Tuesday morning in the hotel in Providence, RI, and channel surfing before sleeping when, much to my amazement, I saw Jose on The Today Show. I missed the first part of the story, but I gathered that Jose's father's wallet had been found somewhere, along...
I had the privilege to deadhead on Delta from Memphis to Greenville-Spartanburg early last week. At the risk of starting a flame war, I'd like to relate the experience and ask a question.
Before we even closed the door in Memphis, the lead flight attendant asked us to all pick up any trash...

I must say that I found this post to be at the same time humorous and frightening.
- - humorous with respect to UAL's use of his doggie puns.
- - frightening with respect to the implication - - do our posts have to be informative or educational in order to keep us out of the "DOG...
By the time she finds this thread, she will have become the Fiftieth "Aviator" to contribute 1000 posts to the Flightinfo.com Hangar.
Welcome to the Club!
And here's to another thousand! - - > CHEERS!
What exactly makes someone a student? Is there a form someone has to fill out? Does every student have to have a teacher or instructor? Does he have to pay for all of the teaching in order to qualify as a student?
Do all students have to ask questions, or can some students just listen to other...
How petty! Twice now a thread detailing a major announcement affecting progression and hiring at a Global Airline has been deemed unworthy of holding a position in the Majors Section of the Aviation Interview Board. Now, I'm not sure what the criteria is that distinguishes one category from the...
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!
To...
That's the story that was running on the local TV news as I was approaching consciousness this morning. I looked up to see video of a helicopter flying over water - - not very informative.
Anybody hear any other details?
As Americans, we should all pause and reflect on the life of a fellow American. Political leanings aside, we can all acknowledge the impact he had on the world we live in today.
I listened to the Eulogy offered by Lady Thatcher. I believe it would benefit every American to hear the same. I...

Will the International Postal contract (you know, the fictitious one that was just awarded to FedEx Express) delay the posting?
How do you suppose they broke the news to JL? :)

Local Memphis TV station (I was just waking up, not awake enough to tell which one) says FedEx C-208 Caravan landed on a north Mississippi Highway near Tunica (I think they said 51 or 61?) at about 3AM (about 3 hours ago) after reporting loss of power and then engine failure.
Report continued...
I apologize in advance for posting something aviation-related. I figured there might be a few people interested in this anyway. :)

OK, you asked for it, now you've got it. To appease the crowd that dislikes the thought of NOT clicking on threads that conatain references to politics, religion, BBQ, and sex, (wait, they didn't complain about sex, did they? ok, disregard sex) let's begin a thread that will remain EXCLUSIVELY...
