use Roger Cohen as a source, just to remain unbiased.

Already have, he is a moron, but it is a argumentative paper, so in this case he is a helpful moron.

Wrong again. Now I know you're just pulling this poor guy's leg.

Goddman you're dense

Fixed it for you. I sat next to the CASC for FedEx at a meeting a couple years ago. He said he's been involved in NTSB accident investigations CONTINUOUSLY for the last decade.

NTSB investigations don't necessarily imply fatalities. ASA/XJT has several open investigations currently. A catering cart can drive into your wing and cause an investigation.

He was referring to hull loss investigations. Google yourself a list.

In fact, I don't believe there is a carrier with a greater widebody hull loss record than FedEx.

"Militay [sic] pilots are not necesarrily more or less safe as airlines pilots. Fed Ex has the most deplorable safety record among 121 carriers and they are almost entirely military."

MUST be the backpacks.

MUST be the backpacks.

What I find particularly troubling is that they keep having approach accidents, and I really haven't heard anyone offer up a credible explanation of why that might be, outside of some major systemic failure.

Fatigue, perhaps? That and the backpacks.

Perhaps. But aren't well fatigued a lot of the time?

The backpacks are heavy, stuffed full of cash.....
