Default Trivial UPS

First, good news at UPS!

Second, I haven't seen anything on this before and was wondering if the current state of things has changed the plans/progress of the Worldport expansion??

Third, any talk of the 744 being brought to SDF??

Explain how it could possibly make sense for a/fleet of 747-400's to be based in SDF?
It would work out great for the crewmembers, but how does it work for management? The numbers gave a 10% increase in crewmember utilization by using the ANC base. They don't deadhead up to ANC and lose 4 days a bid period. Not to mention they don't use hotels and incur other expenses while up there.
Its the top 500 guys dream to base the 400 in SDF, but financially doesn't make sense.
