Default Future of FDX DC-10's?

Has anyone heard anything new about the future of our DC-10's? Last things I've heard are they're going to park them "Dec.24", "end of Dec.", "end of Feb.". The Dec. bid pack has carry over trips thru Jan.5. Do you think the Boeing strike make company rethink the parking date of the 10? We have guys not going to the school house till next fall. Big vacation?

Capt'n,

As I have (shall we say) a professional interest in the Purple 10's - what left of them that is- how would the Boeing Strike affect the utilization of the DC-10?

I was thinking along the lines of .. if the 777's are delayed due to the past strike, maybe the company would need to extend the 10. I have a Feb. training date in the 11 but I was interested in "the word on the street".

Ah.... Logical.

Unfortunately, I am unaware of any such 777 delay activity or operation - nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist.

I'm on the DC/MD side of the house anyway.

Thanks for the explanation.
