It's real. The computer system in global ops control has a program that tracks FedEx flights over the contiguous United States. They can take the historical data and out together time elapsed presentations. There was one out last year that showed the entire system all across the U.S. for a 24 hour period. It was nicknamed The Ant Trail.

One of those "ant trails" into MEM comes in right over my house every night. Fortunately I can barely hear them.

Ah, yes. The sound of huge profits. And very large management self-awarded bonuses.
