Management, at least a specific 747-400 manager (first name of Fred), is telling pilots in Anchorage that more -400s are coming, with a new -400 IPA base in SDF. A management base already exists there, of course.
I doubt it, as we have been hearing this rumor for years, and my own chief pilot (first name of Steve) told me how excited he was about our upcoming USPS award shortly before we found out the news we got ZERO of its business.
