I luuuuuvvvvvv flying the 767, flies a bit nicer than the 757 me thinks. Also heard the rumor of picking up some more 767s, depends on the USAF tanker deal to some extent. Apparently we got the most recent batch of 27 at a very attractive price but Boeing didn't want to extend the production too much longer if they lost the tanker deal since they have to start ramping up for 787 production as they have already sold over 500 of those beauties!
Another juicy rumor...company's possibly looking at used 777 BCFs (Boeing converted freighters). Could be the beginning of another MD-11-type bidding war between UPS and FedEx for these airframes. Believe it or not, there are some 777s available on the used market.
Also heard a bad rumor that UPS may not put EFBs in the converted 747-400 freighters, cost savings, thus none would be turned on across the fleet. Let's hope this is not true, a dumb idea if they decide to do this! I think the union would fight this one, as UPS has sold it as an efficiency and safety feature.
