I'll expect a few jabs and heckling in reponse,...and I can take it. But after that stuff subsides, I really would like to know ha! Thanks guys.

Atlas is very aggressive at getting new business and I would speculate that the 747 is not an appropriate airplane for some of the new routes/loads they are planning. Also, from what I understand, they don't get new airplanes until they have cargo to fill them. Beyond that, I don't have anything specific.
