I had the head of A/C acquisitions onboard and we talked about every plane out there. We had a good talk about the 747 and what a great plane it is and ever will be. But he said we would not see any flying for Express since it is excellent for freight operations, opposed to container. He did say he would not be surprised to see FedEx acquire a freighter operation (FedEx Air Freight) some day and then we would have 747 on the property.

As far as the 380...he said that FedEx's forecast for the aircraft is 6-12 months farther out than Airbus is advertising.

777...he did not give much info on???
