Post Office aircraft?

USPS contracted out to several supplimentals, mostly flying 727's.

FedEx did come in and take over the USPS flying, which screwed A LOT of pilots out of jobs. Rumor is that the USPS are not 100% satisfied with FedEx. And yes, it was a cushy job. You talk about on time performance. Everything ran like clockwork in that operation.

Midnight, if you need a LOR to get on with a regional, just let me know...we'll make sure you don't ever have to be part of anything where the USPS is not 100% satisfied.

I remember seeing an entire box of credit card letters from Capital One fall off a belt loader going into a 757 headed for Hawaii, one box out of 9000lbs worth of US Mail.

All the purdy white letters absorbed all the nice blue juice on the ramp below

You 727 guys had some serious card-games going on in the lounge.

Oh, yes we did. Spades was the game of choice. I suck at bidding, so I only joined in once....and got slaughtered.
