You see those Atlas 747s all the time up in Anchorage. I haven't been close enough to tell, but I've heard they even have "Operated by Atlas Air for FedEx Express" written on the side (in small letters).
Sounds good regarding the 7000. For the guys out there who are looking to come to FedEx, unfortunately the 1400 new MD pilots won't necessitate 1400 new hires. Many of them will come from the DC-10 which will slowly be going away as they all get converted to MD-10s. Don't know off hand how many DC-10 crewmembers there are, but I know quite a few are the over 60 engineers.
Man, I'm gone for a few days, and the rumors are flying and I miss all the good stuff. I still stand by the 7000 pilots by 2007. All these other rumors substantiate it! I can't even imagine that training department trying to do 25 guys a month. They'll fold up.
