And another rumor was that the 747-4 Bid for ANC is going to be re-done for SDF instead. That would be nice.
We are getting nine MDs out of conversion this calendar year, and a tenth the first week of 2008. We are buying used MDs as quickly as possible and sending them into storage until conversion slots become available. The choke point is the conversion process, there are plenty of airframes for sale out there...
I still have a steak dinner bet on the 747-400 ANC/SDF scenerio...
