Being we currently are cheaper than k4 and ATI and the only thing DHL cares about is the cost (they have proven they do not care about on time) yet we lose cities.There is no additional Amazon flying to dangle so what else do they have? Reduce flying and watch the pilot group panic and post on APC. Standard contract negotiation tactics.

Always talk of it but in the meantime like current fleet but longer with 4 bigger engines.

The 777 rumor is the strongest one I've heard yet. However, even if Connie buys a 777, doesn't mean it will get used in our operations, the man is a legend in the aircraft financing world. Maybe he flips it? Maybe it's a start to a third fleet type?
I would not be surprised however to see 777's on property, based on where the rumors are coming from.

We don’t even have an ETOPS program and you guys think we are getting 777’s? I don’t think DHL/Turkish/? bought those things to go CVG to MSP. Do you really think this placeis capable of hiding table top exercises for ETOPS, maintenance and stores buildups, training department stand up and everything else that is required to bring on a new type? Somebody farts in ground school in YIP and 6 hours later it is all over the company and the world wide pilot rumor mill yet you are willing to suspend reality and believe we are SOON getting a new fleet type that requires FAA certification that takes massive effort and money to get? Ummm OK.
