So on the question of new tails, I saw this in American Shipper today in an article discussing Maersk's deal with Amerijet to run some 763 factory-Fs that Maersk just bought from Boeing (that had been destined for a Chinese operator and not taken up).

"In November [Maersk] engaged Wilmington, Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group (NASDAQ: ATSG) to provide and operate three 767-300 freighters under a long-term lease. An ATSG subsidiary is expected to begin carrying out dedicated transport for Maersk on key U.S.-China routes in the second half of this year."

I haven't heard anything about which carrier will be operating these tails; sounds like some fun work if ABX can get them.
