[QUOTE=Boeing could probably get you some B747-400's and -800's a helluva lot quicker.[/QUOTE]

That really isn't the point though. The -400 and the -800 still don't have what it takes for a freighter that has to go nonstop from China to Louisvile with a big load. Yes, you could get two 747-400's, but unless you get two slots in China, it doesn't help a whole lot. They tod us that the 380 is the equivelent of a 747 with a 767 strapped on top of it. In the big scheme of things, for a company to make a plan for 4 years out isn't that bad.
