How would the IPA force the company to give the challenge air pilots interviews? That was a business decision of which we were notified after the fact...if you think otherwise, you might have overestimated the power of the union.

Force? We can't force them to even abide by what they agreed to. Our groups silence spoke volumes though.

Just talked to my buddy at Atlas who said he hasn't heard that rumor at all. I do hope for more -400s though but directly from Boeing would be the best way to do it. As far as the "line closing" - I believe it when Ii see it; as long as they'll be getting more orders Boeing will keep the line wide open...

The 400 line will be officially closed when the UPS birds are complete as far as I know because at that time 747-8 production will ramp up. Both aircraft will not be produced at the same time.
