-During our basic indoc introductions, the various players that run FDX came in and all of them said that 757's are coming, and they are going to be used in Europe. They didn't say whether the first airplanes were going to Europe, but they definitely said that the want to bring the Airbuses home. They did not mention any numbers either.
Pilot bases are still in discussion with various European governments. Paris is still the target, though talks with the German Government [Frankfurt], the Czech Government [Prague], and the Belgian Government [Brussels] are taking place.
