Re: FedEx: 25hrs of flights

I heard a rumour that the founder of FedEx wrote up his idea for overnight shipping anywhere in the country for a university business course. He got a C, because the prof called it creative but unrealistic...or something to that extent.

Principles of good Sandbox Etiquette:
Assume good faith - Be polite, please! - Work toward agreement. - Argue facts, not personalities. - Concede a point when you have no response to it, or admit when you disagree based on intuition or taste. - Be civil. - Be prepared to apologize. In animated discussions, we often say things we later wish we hadn't. Say so. - Forgive and forget. - Recognize your own biases and keep them in check. - Give praise when due.

Treat others as you would have them treat you

Going to California - Led Zeppelin
(with an aching in my heart)

That was the song. Though I suspect Rincewind knew that.

I think I used to have a line from that song in my sig.

Yes, that was the song, but not the performing artist

Well to be honest it's all based on volume to each district and how many planes have to fly there. Since Memphis TN in Fedex terms isn't very far away Kansas we can take a later plane to take all the overnight stuff to Kansas or your plane actually might come from Indy not exactly sure but I do know it's one of those.
