In two different lounge briefs it was confirmed the whales were planned to be retired within 5 years of SOC. This is a two year change on that.
Yes the rep was at the meeting. He has listened to RA's talk but RA has NEVER said the freighters will be gone by 2010. There are several DAL guys on the boards stating this as fact but the fact is nobody really knows for sure.
As for the -400 I am glad the lounge briefs pilots know more than my reps because how else would I know the sky is falling.
