You really think they're gonna DC8 that fleet?

Expectation Zero and all that, but there's absolutely zero cause to be talking a shrinking airline.
As with everything else said this is all speculation, but those birds are the highest time airframes on property (for the fleet) and I here that are disliked the most (by mx). I think the door is actually a tad smaller as they were not P2F but purpose built; not sure if I heard that correctly or not.

Lots of MD11 rumors flying about, hard to say what they are up to, the system bid was a bit underwhelming for sure, retirements have slowed (probably due to the economy) and who knows what’s next. The 76 doesn’t carry what the MD does and as far as 350/77X rumors, where do they park them?

We have airplanes stacked on top of each other as it is…and they don’t fit on the wings.

Anyway, carry on…..
