Lots of timelines thrown around, yet no lift or combinations selected to replace. Suspect as long as FedEx keeps flying MD-11's, UPS will do same plus several years. If they chose to truly maintain them, they would serve the business well for long time effectively. International they will fly as long as FedEx is operating overseas. Less destinations, specific lanes plus DOD charters
or.... the market can crash and UPS parks them all overnight ala the DC-8 and all unplanned.
