Talk:FedEx Express

message: I know for a fact that FedEx operates way more than just 2 ATR-42s. This is wrong. I will try to find out the correct number and correct it.
:What is your source for this number?--Rtphokie (talk) 11:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this was written years ago when FedEx Express was first aquiring the ATRs...You have to use the source listed:  http://about.fedex.designcdt.com/our_company/company_information/fedex_express otherwise it is Wikipedia:No original research  Spikydan1 (talk) 15:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: ATR-42

message: I know for a fact that Latin America does not exclusively use Miami International Airport for shippings being made to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. I have been working with FedEx for several years, and have personally received hundreds of packages, and not one single time (I live in Brazil) has a package passed through Miami. In the case of packages being sent to Brazil, all of them are sent via Memphis to Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport. 
I edited the main article yesterday, but someone edited it back to its original text, where it states that all packages sent to South America go through Miami International Airport. This is wrong, and if it is needed I can provide proofs in form of trackingnumbers (AWB#) to prove that the packages do not go through Miami Int Airport, but through Memphis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.7.111.50 (talk) 03:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why was this renamed? 

message: I don't think this belongs. I reworked it, but it still reads like a Nascar article in an article about a Cargo airline, talking about place finished and blah blah. Not really relevant to an entry about a CARGO AIRLINE. I'm considering taking it out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WStewart07 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inclusion of Nascar Sponsorship 

message: There is much overlap between this article and FedEx.  Any reason why they should not be merged?  --Rtphokie (talk) 01:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that both articles should remain seperate. You can move sections or parts that belong to the airline to FedEx Express...FedEx is the parent company and should have its own article. FedEx is also more than just express shipping (FedEx Kinkos, freight, ground, etc and more of those services should be listed on FedEx. Both articles need a major overhall and I have been doing that with FedEx Express but they still need a lot of work. Spikydan1 01:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I should also add that they started off the same company (Federal Express) but over the years they have grown more and more apart. The history will overlap until Federal Express Corp became FDX Corp. and then later, FedEx Corp. when they started offering more than just overnight services. Spikydan1 01:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you point to some references that discuss these entities growing apart?--Rtphokie (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

text: If they remain separate, they need some work, particularly in the history sections.  There is a lot of overlap there.  Should one article (FedEx perhaps) contain most of the history and the other (FedEx Express) refer back to the early history and then take over from there with information which is more specific to that article?--Rtphokie (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is fine if some of the history overlaps because they started out as one, you can take a look at this for more info: http://about.fedex.designcdt.com/our_company/company_information/fedex_history . It states that FDX Corp (Now FedEx Corp.) was created in 1998 because they aqcuired a trucking company (Caliber) and then had more than just express shipping. The company had major change in 2000 when they created "FedEx Corp." and broke the company down into smaller units (FedEx Ground, FedEx Express, FedEx Custom Critical, ect).

thread_title:  So... 

message: The lead of this article claims that Fed Ex Express is the largest airline by number of freight miles and number of planes in the fleet. According to the List of largest airlines that is linked, however, the second fact is not correct. FedEx appears to be second after Delta. is there something I'm not reading correctly here? either way i think this should be changed. I'll do it if there isn't something im missing, because it seems like a pretty big error otherwise. -Bonus Onus (talk) 17:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That page is wrong, the Delta number includes Northwest's fleet...Until they combind operations (They are operating as two diffrent airlines right now) FedEx Express is still the largest airline by fleet size. Spikydan1 (talk) 19:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The linked article now says that, as of March 2011, Delta, United and Lufthansa all have larger fleets than Fed Ex. If orders are included, Southwest also comes higher, making the Fed Ex fleet arguably either the 4th or 5th-largest in the world massive_hair 17:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: To make the article more presentable, I edited the Incidents and Accidents section from straight text to a sortable table format. Source are preserved and some are added. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 05:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Addendum - I have removed FedEx Feeder crashes, which number more than 20, as these crashes are not on FedEx's air operating certificate authority. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 03:29, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article cleanup 

message: The list of incidents and accidents includes a claim that Auburn Calloway intended to crash Federal Express Flight 705 into FedEx headquarters.  The article on flight 705 does not include this claim, nor is there another source provided that would corroborate it. If proper sourcing cannot be provided, the text should be altered so as to conform to the Flight 705 article’s description of Calloway’s intentions. 173.70.53.180 (talk) 19:11, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I have just edited that section to comment it out entirely because it appears to be largely incorrect.  An article I cited with my edit indicates the Memphis facility is 5.6 million square feet not 15 million square feet.  My own check with Google Earth showed major errors with the sizes of both Indianapolis and Newark.  The source cited did not appear to have any authoritative information.  FedEx does not list the facility sizes however there might be information elsewhere that is correct and I will research that further.  I see no reason to just delete the information until someone other than myself has separately determined that it is unavailable, if it comes to that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jleipold (talk • contribs) 23:12, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
