2dadies,
When is size and scope has anything to do with the way you manage your company? How is 100s of wide body jets influnce the way you go about doing things? Your point there is void and makes no sense. If you are trying to imply that corporate size may influence management performance then maybe Management 101 is something you should consider.
Falcon's Management at all levels is far more proefessional than Fed-Ex and they are highly trained. I also heard recently that they have a new highly qaulaified guy on board taking care of safety and security. If they were not as professional they would've not caught Fed-Ex's discrepancies on daily basis. Fed-Ex discrepancies may include:
1- wrong weight on packages (which affects CG)
2- Undeclared DG
3- Unproper packing of DG
4- Undeclared volumetric weights
and the list goes on
Tunnelvision,
Fed-Ex and Falcon are in 2 different businesses which seems similar but they are different in nature. Fed-Ex is a freight integrator thats been around since the 70s, which is double the time since Falcon was found. Fed-Ex utilizes the hub and spoke system in its operations bringing the loads into their Dubai hub and transferring it to Falcon for distribution in all the Persian Gulf states and Iraq. Falcon operates on one spoke of Fed-Ex's system using bulk loading and more efficient aircrfat for short flights. The transporting of Fed-Ex loads by Falcon is a major operation that determines cost structure for Fed-Ex in the middle east. So yes.....2 different playfields and Falcon masters the one its in. Also remember that Falcon is not small either coz its a part of a big group that consists of 8 diffeent companies under the same umbrella Falcon Express Inc. (FEI)
