FedEx has A380's?? Wow thats amazing, those sneaky people I thought they cancelled their order

Where do these writers get their numbers and information? Seems to me they would do their homework before they wrote something so wrong as that....
When airlines place order for aircraft, they have to negotiate a pay scale for that aircraft. So, yes FEDEX, recently cancelled their A380 order, though, they placed the order for the A380, years ago, and had to negotiate the A380 pay scale.

When Airtran placed their 737-700 order with Boeing, there is also a 737-800 payscale, which Airtran does not have.

Years ago, Alaska was looking at an Airbus order, & Alaska set up an Airbus payscale.
