Just talked to my buddy at Atlas who said he hasn't heard that rumor at all. I do hope for more -400s though but directly from Boeing would be the best way to do it. As far as the "line closing" - I believe it when Ii see it; as long as they'll be getting more orders Boeing will keep the line wide open...
