You guys don't represent your company well at all. I would be embarassed if I was on this board and worked for your company. You guys need to lighten up and try not to be so antagonistic. Rise above this.

Oh please....don't go there again.

If you guys would have been civilians, you would have more friends...

 

[oldf4guy]

My cousin's godson was dating a girl whos father bowls with the janitor who cleans BC's office. According to them its 265 wide captains but not until August.

Now thats how to spread a rumor!

 

[stonewall]

Wait a minute...I thought the only reason any of us got hired at FDX was because of all our friends.

Ohhhh, good one!! I guess that's why TAZMAN isn't here!!!
.

I'm sure glad he isn't monitoring this thread or he'd REALLY be P/O'd at me!!!

[Laughing_Jakal]

Great Idea!!!!

How bout we use the proceeds of the pool to buy Flightinfo.com? Then we would have our own place to talk about that stuff that only us FedEx CARGO guys are interested in. Suggested topics could be stuff like:

Civilians....why we scoff at them cause we live in our own little world. (aka...don´t they have any stories about Thailand or the PI to tell?)

The ethics of sponsoring someone you have known for less than 13 years

Who can still repeat the spin recovery procedure for the T-37?

How to get the sweat stains out of your wheel cap in time for informational picketing.....and why I suddenly don´t feel like a pinko commie labor socialist

NVG´s and the HUD.....when is it too dark to use both....and by the way....did you know they are putting them on FedEx AIRCRAFT

How to get the Bar Girl in the PI to pick up your tab.

Ex-Military Fraternity and the Illuminati.....do you need to belong to both since they are generally composed of the same membership.

(Civilian Idol) Vote on which civilian we will honor by letting them join our club.

And Finally! Where the hell is Quijibo these days_

 

[Deuce130]

Awesome. I think it was something like "Idle, nuetral, aft...." and last time I saw Quijibo he was "on the loose!"

 

[dtfl]

Oh please....don't go there again.

We military folks have tons of friends....unfortunately many have died in the past 4 years. So there is our excuse.

 

[dtfl]

Jackal and Duece - did I fly with you guys in the 9th ????
PM me.

Expect an announcement soon from Boeing/FedEx for pre-owned B757's from GE with the "NEW" blended-wingtips that will reduce wake turbulance criteria.

 

[Los1]

OK, sandman....

is this a real "real" rumor,　or just one of those to amuse ourselves on flightinfo?

[sandman2122]

"I kid, I kid" but the blended wingtips from Boeing for 757's IS true.....

[PurpleTail]

I think people are going to be surprised that the next bid isn't really going to be that big compared to the 2001 monster.

I'm saying 190 new captains TOTAL and will be in late August, the 22nd.

You heard it here first, ante up!

 

[1000PIC]

How many guys are in the pool right now? Just talked to a senior pilot in the training dept. and he told me 150 wide body Capts alone coming out in August. Sounds good to me!

 

[Huck]

Lisa D. in the ACP office says it's been moved up to mid July. And she would know....

As to number - I say 32 captains trained per month for 9 months, or 284.

 

[Super Monkey]

Yo Purple Studs,

How many are expected to retire in the next 5 years?

What are your trips like outta LAX?

When hired is do you get hired as an SO or directly into the MD 11 as an FO?

Thanx,
Wannabe Purps

PurpleTail- Awesome picture of your woman! Where did you get her?

 

[PurpleTail]

My girl just got yanked by the frickin' moderator but THANKS! Her name is Kelly Hu, go to maximonline.com and click on Girls of Maxim. Time to go find a new avitar

Oh, 32 capts a month for 9 months...I'll believe it when I see it but I don't think it will be that much. There is absolutely NO open time trips in LA or ANC in either seat, we seem to be pretty well staffed in those two places. Looks like it will be mostly Airbus Capts.
