The rumors going around about the 777PF conversion are that it would cost more than a brand new A330-200F. If that's the case, who's thinking about conversion costs? It sounds like the 7 digit conversion probably would still be less than the
currently stated 777 P-F conversion. I don't know how much of a residual market there is for that airframe anyway as it's pretty popular, especially the newer -200 version on which the freighter is currently based. Not that FX ever cared about that.
