The A380 delay had to have hurt your long term ability to move pallets out of Asia, and I don't think your 8 or 10 -400's coming will be enough.
So...just what is UPS's long term fleet vision?
Just a note: We buy all of our planes with cash, so i've been told. Does that make a difference? i.e. maybe boeing doesn't give certain incentives without leases. Just a thought
