[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 3974030, member: 64407"] Coming from the most miserable person ever hired by the company, your opinion means nothing to those of us that were there then. The reason the 777 was put into service later than you wanted was because the Memphis airport had to undergo a major renovation to handle the larger plane. You can't have planes landing at an airport without runway, taxiways and other improvements. Plus the 777 came into the picture for fedex because Airbus kept delaying the arrival of the 380. Once again, you continue to show you are clueless and bitter. The Z van had clutch and shifter issues but was a superior van compared to what we have now. The side cargo door was a major asset that would be great if they could find a way to add to other vans even today. We never had engine issues like the Reaches have. No turbo issues like Sprinters have. It can't compete with the 700 or 900 for room but it was a major improvement over the various vans we had before the Z van came out in '78 or so. The Z van had issues but was great to drive and deliver out of. Barksdale might have cared about people but he was a company killer. He just about killed us with his revolutionary vision known as Zapmail. He cared so much for the employees of McCaw Cellular that plenty lost their job when they were bought out and Barksdale became wealthy as a result. Then he goes to Netscape. It struggles and is finally taken over by AOL and plenty more lose their job. Oh yea, Barksdale got a 700 million $ windfall in that deal. The company could have let you design and van and decide what planes to buy and you still wouldn't be happy. Misery and despair is all you know. The company is much better off without you. [/QUOTE]
