Not that little....FDX supposedly ordered some...UPS bought 25 and took delivery in the last couple years...DHL has recently received a couple new ones...put money on the table and I bet you could get a new one too! :D

Hmmm . . ok, I've heard this from different folks. So here's the million dollar question: When did the 18 month clock start? Also, when the 76 program spooled up the books were on some desks over a year before they officially were announced. Anyone seen any 777 books lying around?

I hope I have to eat my words but need more proof than an upper management guy saying something. After all, we're supposed to get breakfast in the hotels, right? :D

I saw it with my own eyes....J.B. is sitting in a cold dark secret project office going through 777 manuals. I hear that B.W. is creating a bid package as we speak.

Bid packs....wow before an aircraft.... manuals....training syllabus....proffer for crews.... approval by the FAA... just saying....:confused:

B.W. Is one of our pilots that put out a fake bid packet years before the 76 was on the property. We had crews faxing their fake bids to the chief pilot. I was poking fun at that and saw the poster was a fellow Polar crew and would get the inside joke... I guess my sarcasm didn't come across that well.

Nope! I got the joke. You brought back some good memories as that was hilarious seeing those forms on the jet and watching people fill them out. And no, I didn't fill one out but I will be making . . uh I mean sending . . uh I mean filling the 777 LAX bid as number one choice. :D

Cheers!

LAX 777 bid....... hmmmm,mmmmm

That line is probaly for the FedEx orders and we just upped the ante by 33 more aircraft. The line will be going for a while. We did defer 2 777's a year so someone may get those.

It's also there for the new USAF/NATO tanker program.

IIRC ... wasn't the FedEx 767 deal to fill the production gap between the end of the orders and the tanker production?
