From: MD-11 Captain

From RGS last week from commander zero: manning for Md-11 is 10-1 and the 777 will be 20-1. 250 pilots on the 777 by 2010. Oct bid for the 777. His words, subject to change. also form RGS: 727 gone by 2014, 87 757s authorized and 50 purchased so far. Plenty of 757s out there, but not always at the price FDX wants. Every DC-10 will go thru MD conversion....6 retirements since Jan, 138 over 60 guys right now, of the guys between 58-60 in age, 2/3 dont have 25 YOS at FDX, so he anticipates few retirements. FDA's: CDG will be back 12-18 mos, he guesses as an Airbus domicile. MD-11 domicile in HKG will happen sometime.
