Well it's been two weeks since the conference call with no word from mgt and, if the "street" has it right, three maybe four 727's are going to desert sooner than later.
Just because there's no indication of a swap means they are just going away. Nobody knows. Hopefully for everyone they stick around, the more airframes the better. The fourth is suppose to come out this month and take the place of a 72 line. That leaves 3 72 lines plus a reserve. The fifth is being talked about and not even in the pipe. DHL wont commit. And knowing that it takes 4 months to do a conversion doesn't seem like the next 72 is going to be parked anytime soon.
Everyone goes to ATI training in the next month, their is a 72 scheduled for C check and come to think of it I think they are writing the training schedules for the 72 crews for jan and feb.
