Really? We are buying 777 at the rapid rate and can't get enough of them. If our growth is tempered then why are we hiring and UPS has guys on the street? If hiring 20 a month is tempered growth, bring it on!
68 727s now and 31 757s. In two years, 35 727s and 68 757s, and an additional 12 777s. Yep that is way too many 3 seaters being replaced by 2 seaters. Thinks look grim over here for all the new hires.
