Default UPS's HUGE A/C Order!!!!!!

Is it going to happen or what? It's been so quiet!!

Can't just cancel 10 A380s and not get anything else. Seems a bit strange that there's not an order by now.

Yeah, that 777 rumor has been floating around for at least 2 years that I know of.

Default Here it is!!!

Should be Eskew not Askew.

UPS is important to Washington's economy. It has the world's seventh-largest airline with more than 600 planes, most of them built by Boeing. In February, UPS ordered 27 new 767 extended-range cargo planes, and Askew told folks in Seattle that UPS is ordering more Boeing 747s.

10 0f the 747s were announced before the A380 cancellation. The 767s "are not a replacement for the 380" according to UPS soooooooooooo?
