Why are FedEx planes so dirty

[Non Union]

If you see FedEx planes vs UPS planes, the UPS planes seem much cleaner.

The FedEx planes always are covered with filth.

Both companies are making piles of money, but wondering if it is corporate culture thing why UPS has such clean planes vs FedEx.

If it is already the color of dirt?........What can brown do for it's planes?

Beats me. Why don't you ask the "non union" employees at FedEx why they can't keep the planes clean.

Don't you have paper to shuffle on your desk.....

UPS washes and waxes their airplanes to save fuel...

It's an image thing with UPS. They are very concerned with the way they look to the public and the "Brand" name.

That was the first thing I noticed was how much cleaner the 727s were/are on the inside compared to the USAF.

2000s and 12 and 27 are pretty cool.

Didn't Lenard Nimoy narrative a UPS TV commerical a few years ago in which he explained the technical reasons why UPS frequently washes their planes, and then added "Besides, we like our planes to be clean".

I always thought the Fedex planes looked pretty good.

Try checking out an ABX/DHL aircraft. Now that's dirty.:beer:

Our planes are a freakin' mess no doubt. The reason is ours rarely sit for more than a few hours. The afternoon flights driven by the postal contract and a general lack of lift mean our planes are too busy for baths.

Uh? I think that's what Browntothebone just "said"? (2 posts ahead of yours)

Ps. CaptM, I agree, 12 in particular is pretty funny

funny that they don't even use soap and water

What's so funny? Nothing.

I liked 12. I'd never seen that one before. For the most part, I never really like our commercials compared to brand x's but then again, I'm sure that they are very deliverate in the segment of the market that they are aimed at.....shippers with no sense of humor. They must have decided long ago to ced the market for people with a funny bone to FedEx

I just like them because they have airplanes in them.
