10% for the whole company. The latest information from the company was ~18,500 block hours being done for the DOD this year out of a total of ~185,000. I don't have figures by fleet, but only 3 of the 11 767s on property are doing DOD work. 7 are DHL freighters, and the VIP 767 should be showing up sometime soon. Good to see the Big O being aggressive about new civilian work.
By the way, I agree with the 747 bunk...I got a few hours in on a HKG-ANC deadhead. Color me jealous.
Best I've done recently was fold down the supernumerary seats on the 767 and grab about an hour of sleep on SYD-NRT.
