You may see a few youngens go back to the panel, but I would say very few. The 8 is set to lose about 20 lines of flying this year alone. I would say that from what I have heard, the 8 will be relagated to a system spare over the next few years before they are taken out and shot. Then UPS will bring them back in 2013 to replace the 300 and 75.
