and somewhat on topic,<g>, UPS could definitely sell the 747's volume on daily DOD business and use the 11's to do same as well as fly DOD full time. Everything else flows up to backfill.
Salty,
It looks like to me that the FDX team includes 45 747's from Atlas, Polar, and Northwest. Do you know how much of the $1.4B they got? Also, the list shows our team includes 34 747's from Southern Air and Kalitta, and 17 767's from ABX. Any info on the breakdown there?
Go team!
