[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 506510, member: 13555"] FedEx is steamed about a bill working its way through Congress, and is [URL="http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.aspx?Feed=OBR&Date=20090325&ID=9726033&Symbol=FDX"]threatening to cancel billions of dollars[/URL] in new plane orders from [B]Boeing.[/B] "It is exceedingly unlikely that we would purchase those airplanes," a FedEx spokesman told the Journal. He makes the claim -- a quite flimsy one -- that those planes become unnecessary when the bill cripples the company. [/quote] Anyone else see this quote? If the Congress passes this bill then Fedex won't buy the planes from Boeing as they will "become unnecessary when the bill cripples the company, but yet they still can afford to buy them from Airbus? Why would you go and authorize spending of 7 Bil. plus with another company if your company is gonna be crippled by the legislation? Gotta love that "fuzzy math":surprised: [/QUOTE]
