However, someone last Thursday mentioned that the latest plan is to have all 727's gone within 36 months. About a year to a year and a half earlier than planned even 6 months ago. This time, it sounds like they are serious.
Just out of curiosity, are your sources from within the FEDEX 727 community??
Planned date is still Aug 2015...and could still slip right to 2018 depending on how cheap they can get the heavy C-checks.
