Isn't the picture a pretty sight? It is correct that during the twice a day pushes those ramps are pretty empty. What a lot of people do not understand is Fed Ex is way more than the largest air package delivery comapny in the world. They are an interlocking of 9 companies, Fed Ex Express (the one most know), Fed Ex Ground, Fed Ex Frieght, Fed Ex Solutions and Technology, (Fed Ex owns the STC for the 727 hush kits and the new fire suppression system), Fed Ex Global Supply Chain Services, Fed Ex Custom Critical, Fed Ex Smart Post, Fed Ex Trade Networks, and Fed Ex Kinkos, all based in Memphis. Most of the DoD contracts (subcontracted out) are Fed Ex's in addition to the postal contracts and the other humanitarian services. And Fed Ex is expecting to get bigger with the introduction of new 757's and 777's and the opening of Hong Kong and Paris bases. Fed Ex is big and no better company could you fly for. In basic indoc the Cheif Pilot welcomes new crew members to the "last flying job they will ever have". Fed Ex means it.
