[QUOTE="FedExwhistleblower, post: 1313587, member: 52987"] 1) For starters Dano the most expensive part about Fred's airplanes is the maintenance. Give or take around 3 million per MD10 per C check. The faster they get them out of the hangar the more they save. The more aircraft they do in house the more they save, not just on maintenance but lost revenue. If they can do a C Check in 18 days as they want, instead of the 35 to 40 days it should take with the same man power and not paying for vendors that is a substantial amount of money. Ignore safety issues and it makes 10's of millions of dollars if not into the 9 figure category. Just at LAX 2) It would be political suicide for many politicians to speak up against Fred. He is extremely politically connected. In 2013 FedEx spent over $12 mill. lobbying just on Air transport. They have dozens of lobbyists and firms working for them not to mention that they have a relentless team of lawyers. His political connections go back to his days in college, if not birth. Do your homework. And if you do do your homework you'll also find out that your "Idol" Fred was indicted on forgery for a $2 million bank loan and shortly after killed a 54 year old man in a hit and run back in the 70's and walked away from both of them. You try getting away with that. [/QUOTE]
