I started working for FedEx Office back in October. The anniversary of this tragedy was talked about internally. I won't say much because I don't know how much I can say (legally), but they're still recognized for their bravery and heroism by the company every year.

[@morgankirogo4168]

[@DanielC__]

Great to know. All of them were never able to fly commercially due to being unable to obtain a medical. I hope FedEx took very good care of all 3

[@22Tesla]

One of my most favorite episodes of Mayday. The crew here are just the epitome of heroic. They survived such a brutal attack from a co-worker, subdued said co-worker, and managed to land the plane without crashing. Also, major shout out to the plane itself, considering the absolute batshit, crazy maneuvers that it was asked to do and this thing didn't just completely collapse and break apart in flight. I mean, I sincerely doubt that the people who designed the DC-10 intended it to be flown almost on its back and flown faster than it was ever intended to fly and stay in one piece that was still functionally able to be flown.

[@egg-iu3fe]

shout out to the engineers that created that plane too

[@juliesczesny90]

Shout out to the Engineers, who ALWAYS, ALWAYS overbuilt the DC-10 and 747, 2 of my most favorite planes in the world. Might I point out: the retired Navy fighter pilot, flew a fully FUELED & LOADED DC-10, past it's limits, and then some, to save lives aboard and on the ground!! Thank God for all 3 of them, and the auto-pilot!! But mostly, it's awful to see such a brilliant man, to have such little faith in himself, that he resorted to Suicide via Terrorism by plane - without a thought, destroyed three brilliant pilots with his horrifying attempts!!

[@joshuagrover795]

@Moz bitter pill to shallow, Callaway may have failed in his mission, but he left his mark, robbing them of their careers. But I also see why neither of the three crew members were medically certified to ever fly an aircraft again, Tucker suffers from seizures and he has seizure at the controls could lead to a crash.

[@drewbaum]

@@mozvidz that’s what pilots loss of medical insurance is for. Plus Fedex compensation would have covered all medical & recovery costs. LOM insurance alone has you set for life…

[@le_th_]

I worked for American Airlines for 15 years and although we go to annual recurrent emergency training, which has always included terrorism, both foreign and domestic, as well as all emergency events on the aircraft from the prior year at every airline (worldwide), I have never heard of this event until 2022. I can't tell you how ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING it was to watch this episode...this occurred in the 1st quarter of 1994, so I should have received training and education on this in recurrent training in 1995 or, if the investigation dragged on particularly long due to the neurological injuries of the crew and domestic terrorist, at the very latest it should have been included in the 1996 recurrent training? For someone who was actually working in this industry day in and day out, for 15 years, even during 9/11 and the shoe bomber a few months later...both of which involved my own company, colleagues, and aircraft...you were always aware of the potential for...and trained to handle...hijackers on board an aircraft. We had even been trained to be able to visually identify a variety of weapons from various types of guns, to martial arts weapons. That said, back in 1994, this type of truly malignant narcissistic psychopathology was simply unheard of in the commercial airline industry. This predates German Wings by 20 years? However, it is all too common for former military pilots to demonstrate narcissistic traits and behaviors. Now, don't get me wrong, there are far too many commercial air line pilots who would score high in typical narcissistic traits. Some (not all) can be arrogant, entitled, a bit haute, at times, and some can certainly lack empathy for others. In 15 years with American, I encountered TWO pilots, on the same early morning departure, who REEKED of alcohol. II was young, still on probation, and reported the incident before take-off and nothing was done. The mistake I made was in not reporting to someone more senior. We didn't have cell phones back in 1991. Looking back now, I doubt it was an accident that these two pilots were flying together all month long. It is well-known in the industry that narcissistic traits are especially common in commercial airline pilots with military training, as the US military is all about hierarchy, and the world view of every single narcissist, be they a narcissist who is covert, overt, or malignant, is all entirely about where *they* perceive themselves to fall within the social stratification of society. This narcissist, typical as they come *in some ways*... Stanford undergrad former Navy pilot very ambitious very driven to succeed (to overcome the poverty and feelings of worthlessness from his early childhood) perceived his own "value" to be equated with his net worth as he was about to be robbed of the livelihood he'd worked his entire life to achieve (due to falsifying his flight hours) he saw his *legacy* to only be saved by a multi-million dollar life insurance policy for his kids (to pay for a Stanford education) This should sound entirely illogical to you if you are not a narcissist, but when you understand how narcissists think, see themselves, see others in the world, and understand what motivates them and drives their behavior, you recognize that...for a narcissist....everyone and everything external to them is all about how they can obtain narcissistic supply. For a narcissist who is about to lose everything, and lose it very publicly, they WILL take their own life just to try and prevent from being publicly outed, and they will take anyone else down with them, even if they KNOW you are the sole parent and provider to 4 young children and your spouse is dying of terminal cancer. Narcissists are ENTIRELY DEFICIENT in empathy for others. When things go south for them, they can and will take anyone else down they can, and never feel badly for doing so. They will regret getting caught and held accountable, though. Then they will blame others for their own poor choices. Now, there are many former military pilots who work for commercial airlines who work extremely hard so that they don't ever have to falsify their flight hours, and they maintain their public and professional standing, and so they are never really a threat to the flying public. However, they can get very abusive to fellow colleagues, especially those they view as "beneath" them during/after they go through a particularly expensive divorce, especially if they lose half of their net worth and income. These are often the types who go out to dinner with other junior pilots and flight attendants, order the most expensive thing on the menu, multiple drinks, and after everyone else has ordered a much less expensive meal, the bill comes and the captain splits the bill equally, leaving the other employees having to cough up the money to pay for a large chunk of his tab. There are a few rare cases who go out and, to everyone's surprise, picks up the entire tab for 11-15 crewmembers who are all earning a fraction of his salary. There are some TRULY extraordinary military pilots out there who fit the officer and a gentleman persona. These are your Sully-type pilots who have successful careers, successful marriages, children who grow up with a balance of healthy psychological traits. That said, the FAA should really do a more rigorous job of evaluating ALL pilots for Cluster B disorders, and especially those who are obsessed with social status, like an ivy league education. Ivy league universities are FULL TO THE BRIM of people who score high in narcissistic psychopathology. The military actively recruits young people by approving narcissistic marketing slogans... Be All You Can Be... (i.e. achieve your destiny, which appeals to narcissists aspiring to rise higher in status) The Few. The Proud. The Marines (i.e. exclusivity...prideful...both appeal to narcissists) ...and the most narcissistic of all, the US Air Force... Aim High, Fly, Fight, Win (narcissists are obsessed with "winning" and aiming higher than their current status) It is by no accident that the US military targets narcissistic youth, as narcissists tend to be mission-driven people. When mission-driven people lose their social status, they can go DARK and DANGEROUS very quickly...and that is precisely why the FAA needs to be far more rigorous in the psychological testing, and it's also why all pilots...not just commercial pilots...should undergo rigorous vetting by experts who specialize in diagnosing characterological disorders, especially Narcissist Personality Disorder, Sociopathy, Psychopathy, and especially the sadistic form of narcissistic psychopathology, Malignant Narcissism (all terrorists, spree shooters, white supremacists, dictators, cult leaders, religious zealots, religious sect leaders, trump, putin, hitler, stallin, idi amin, and the little fat guy who leads n korea). Narcissists MUST be watched closely and carefully....the can live the most extraordinary lives, and then TURN DARK and SADISTIC almost as quickly as a sociopath can.

It still blows my mind that, not too long ago, there wasn’t a TSA or really any real protection for the pilots on airplanes. I guess that’s hindsight being 20/20. These guys had some true restraint. It would have been extremely hard not to kill Calloway at first chance. It’s truly terrifying to think what would’ve happened if he was successful in killing the crew and gained control of that massive plane.

Before TSA it was up to the airports or airlines to set up their own security. Quite a few did have security but not all and even those that had security would only check the bags of some people and not all

[@todaystomorrow2545]

What a severely selfish monster to take out crew members. Taking lives and leaving their family’s devastated is demonic. He is demonic! Thank God these fine good men fought and saved their lives and reduced the impact to their families.

If Calloway was so unhappy at FedEx why not simply find another employer. With his smarts he could have used his skills as a private pilot flying leer jets, started his own business, so many options I'm sure were possible given his capabilities. I can not fathom how he determined the only way to overcome his perceived concerns of financial inadequacy was to be willing to commit murder. I am so thankful that all three of the crew survived. I am just sorry they lost, through Calloway's egotistical selfishness, the job they so loved to do.

[@222daley]

It is not as easy as one can say from hindsight. Not that I am defending Calloway what he did was heinous and cruel. However, it is an ignorant argument to say ‘just find another Empolyer’. Not everyone can leave a company so easily and starting a business is also pretty difficult. Plus Calloway was miserable. He wanted to make other people suffer as he was. Was it right? No but that is the rational I can see. From a physcological stand point why he may have done what he has done. With the reasoning that is more emotional and not based in fact which we tend to analyze human cases.

[@mmorales508]

He lied for that position at FedEx that's why he wasn't flying he was under investigation, he was a scumbag that no company in the world would make him happy.

[@animejanai4657]

@Myn6211 It's called "emotional logic".

[@dana102083]

Narcissists frequently have lack of coping, insecure, blame everyone but themselves.

[@CatrionaCharles]

He was in trouble because FedEx had realised he'd lied on his job application and not declared he was fired from Tigers before even completing probation and assumed they would fire him. I think FedEx has since made a statement saying they wouldn't have done that, they would have given him a talking to and a warning.

[@Matt-mo8sl]

I remember when I took the jump seat on a FedEx flight back in 1998, my instructions were simple, just bring A LOT of Oreo cookies for the crew and keep your mouth shut under 10000 feet. 9-11 was the downfall to us being able to jump seat. That's a crew I'd LOVE to treat for dinner and take them all up in a plane with me.

[@grahamkeeton6643]

Calloway was a disgruntled man who planned this absolutely horrific attack just because he had failed in life He got what he deserved Those pilots on that plane were heroes Thank goodness one of them had military flying experience Even though with a heavy DC 10 it was still extremely risky to fly like a fighter jet Both pilots were badly injured yet their actions brought the plane down safely

[@waterheaterservices]

He didn't get near what he deserved

[@3cav888]

They tried like hell in the beginning of show to post all his accomplishments as an "African American" before they processed to tell all the horrible things he is about to do as if that will not make me think the guy is a POS

[@Chestnut-xm2pv]

@Evan Hodge That being said, "just because" is a phrase which implies a misunderstanding of the limits of suffering from such failure. Failure can make the most innocent angel defy God, as we've been narrated to.

All over a woman. Willing to kill 3 innocent people and maybe countless others depending where the jet would have crashed. Unbelievable.

A woman and two kids you mean, right? Maybe just hatred towards anything that made him feel like what he considered a loser.

After 38 years and retire in June last year.I had the privilege to hump seat next to the pilot and copilot since it was my first time and it was a beautiful experience,too bad because of this man actions this programs was over and the other hand I am glad the crew was able to do the right thing to save their lives

the most sad thing is they couldn't fly again because of their injuries that's heartbreaking. Ive been in love with aviation for 8 years and I can't imagine the pain of what that feels like. I feel so bad for them.

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that Calloway left the suicide note, will, etc. yet tried to make it look like an accident?

[@Powerranger-le4up]

I have very little sympathy for Calloway because of what he did.

[@sludge4125]

I also felt sorry for Auburn. For him, it was just another failure in his life. Yes, I feel sorrier for the victims.

[@DonniePalmer57]

This exact aircraft, N306FE, is on it's way to Memphis Airport as I type this. A friend of mine works for FedEx and was one of the people who cleaned the plane. What a tragedy all this was.

[@azizulw]

hand carry luggage or any luggage should be x-rayed and check at security point event if the luggage belongs to the crew.

[@ramblingrob4693]

I should think it does now

[@sludge4125]

I had bleeding in the back of my brain. My balance, my speech, and my ability to use my hands were affected severely. (My hands would not do what the brain wanted them to.) I recovered about 80%, which allows me to live a pretty normal life.
