So on the question of new tails, I saw this in American Shipper today in an article discussing Maersk's deal with Amerijet to run some 763 factory-Fs that Maersk just bought from Boeing (that had been destined for a Chinese operator and not taken up).
"In November [Maersk] engaged Wilmington, Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group (NASDAQ: ATSG) to provide and operate three 767-300 freighters under a long-term lease. An ATSG subsidiary is expected to begin carrying out dedicated transport for Maersk on key U.S.-China routes in the second half of this year."
I haven't heard anything about which carrier will be operating these tails; sounds like some fun work if ABX can get them.

I don't think the 767 has the endurance to reliably do anything requiring a double crew (i.e. > 12 hours), and I don't know that Maersk would want to give up the space necessary to add a class 1 rest facility as required by our CBA if it does. I'd bet that it would be done by going through Anchorage. Anchorage - Shanghai clocks in at around 9 hours, so it could be done with a three-pilot crew just as we're currently doing with our European flying. And maybe Maersk has other ideas involving mid-Pacific hops.
