Well, here's some good news, bad news, so-so news.

Good news: we've purchased four of Singapore's 747-400's.
Bad news: we're using them for parts.
So-so news: wouldn't have done that if we were planning on dumping the entire fleet in the near term.

Also, the first 3 that are leaving this month are leased and will be returned to the lessor. The last of the four (ship 6301) is owned by Delta and will be sent to the desert, but preserved and covered for possible re-introduction.

That's all I know.
