UPS 748s

Willing to bet a round at Stormies in HKG that we will announce an order of 800-F's by the end of the year. I'm wagering the Dubai Airshow.....what say you Mini-Boss?

TB,

I'll take that bet and raise you two blondies at Sticky Fingers that UPS does not announce that order. Why say I ? I don't feel UPS is a leader when it comes to aircraft acquistions. They seem to be methodical and make a move when the risk is low and others have established a track record in the specified arena of discussion.

I hope I am totally wrong, and if so; I have two blondies lined up at the "Finger".

With Regards,

FF

I'll see you, call the two blondes at sticky fingers and raise you a Columbian from Wan Chai.
I win. No such animal as an 800-F.

We'll buy all the old jets (400's) that CargoLux, Lufthansa, Singapore, etc. won't want once they get their "ocho's".

Well I do what I can for the cause hahaha! So far so good, got sim 10 on Fri. then the rides. It's been great, I keep waiting for the training monster to rear its ugly head but so far the guys have been cool. I'd like to see better manuals that have the callouts etc. in them but even that hasen't been that bad. Think I'll stick around for a while and keep my chair warm watching the scenery on "the street".
