With all the international flying and deadheading, do your passports get filled up in a year or less at Atlas?
Tobacco: A few weeks ago I downloaded the investor presentation shown at the Global Industrial A&D Conference conducted on 8/9/2012 (Atlas World Wide website). Page 34 of the presentation shows one 747-400BCF being retired in 2014. Page 36 lists all of the Mx Events taken place for the years noted. The net aircraft gained based on this report is 2.
I believe the latest news release provides work for all of the confirmed orders of the 747-800 (9 orders). It will be very nice to see if the options are exercised as well as additional growth for the 767 operation.
The information in the last few company reports were very good reads and provide a nice education for those of us without ACMI frontline experience.
I hope you find this useful.
