Lets hope replacement aircraft are ordered or the economy does a huge turnaround and they decide to extend them.
Well gotta call you on this one...... I personally contacted my reps after your post above and what was passed on to me was not what you are stating. I was told that all the talk over the -200 was due to the "remarks of RA in NRT" nothing has been decided. But I do agree that given the current freight enviroment the operation will cease in the near future.
As for the -400 the only thing that was talked about was cross fleeting, there was
no discussion of its demise.
