[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1186709, member: 12508"] FedEx has lost numerous Cessna Caravans, but they are not counted as "FedEx" because non-FedEx employees fly them under contract for very small money compared to the "real" FedEx pilots. The accident is assigned to the FBO.These single-engine aircraft are often used for routes over mountainous terrain in bad weather, a recipe for problems. FedEx is too cheap to use the correct type of aircraft in this situation. Their only fatal accident was the MD11 rollover in Tokyo a couple years ago, but you are correct that they have written-off quite a few aircraft due to accidents. Another MD11 flipped at EWR and one went in the drink at Subic Bay. They have also lost 727s and DC10s due to accidents. [/QUOTE]
