Does he still fly for Fedex that would be creepy

Creepy, not really but I kept my eye on the crash ax!

I've HEARD that females don't have to fly with him. Don't know if that's true or not, but it certainly makes sense.

...and let us not forget the fedex nutcase pilot that went beserk in the airplane over memphis. he was weilding a hatchett.

Actually, his weapons included two claw hammers, two sledge mallets, a knife and a speargun. No "hatchett", or even a hatchet.

When was the FedEx strike that made him a scab? Just curious.

scab
n. A crust discharged from and covering a healing wound.

1. Scabies or mange in domestic animals or livestock, especially sheep.
   1. Any of various plant diseases caused by fungi or bacteria and resulting in crustlike spots on fruit, leaves, or roots.
   2. The spots caused by such a disease.
2. Slang. A person regarded as contemptible.
3. 
   
   1. A worker who refuses membership in a labor union.
   2. An employee who works while others are on strike; a strikebreaker.
   3. A person hired to replace a striking worker.

You don't need a strike to grow a scab. He (along with EVERY other nonmember) earned his title independent of any job action. What an embarrassment. I mean, jeez, it's one thing to kill your wife, then drive her minivan into MS and burn her up, but to be on the nonmembers list?!? What a loser.

Not sure if they have the options or not but he is flying with a female FO this month.

Yeah? I have heard that he has a killer personality and the babes always get hot around him. So... maybe he tops the positive airman list?

Is it really 0145?

Yea, I've flown with the guy. Goes by the nickname "Fireball". Drives a fire engine red corvett. Favorite drink is a "Flaming Sambuca". Always seems to be in a big hurry, you know like "where's the fire dude?". Always hear him refering to "taking a drink from the fire hose". I could never get it cold enough for him in the cockpit, kept saying "dang it's hot in here". Chain smoked like a smoke stack. Kept talking about his favorite movie, "The Towering Inferno". Always carried his Jepps around in a 5 gallon gas can with a modified lid. And always quick with a lite of your smoke! Yea, that's him. Seemed OK to me, just a little "hot under the collar" sometimes.

Read a good book by Ann Rule, about a wife who killed her husband in Oregon. He was a pilot for Hawain. Happened in late 90's.
