Maybe converting them to something else??? 777s? 747-8s? I would be surprised to see them cancel those airframes. I believe we got a good price on them in return for Boeing to keep open the 767 production line while waiting for the Air Force tanker outcome...

Don't shoot the messenger, just relating what I heard.

The only way I can see UPS doing that is if they think there will not only be no growth in the future, but shrinkage, instead. I'm not that pessimistic about the future of mankind, and all that, but who knows what they are thinking....

Unless you made a typo, he wasn't lying!
I heard that Brown is going to get a squadron of C-17's, since they already have so many pilots that know how to fly them.
