We would not even be having this discussion if it weren't for the age 65 rule. There would have been a few hundred retirements last year, this year, next year, and for years to come. That ended real fast!

Had a friend ask me when we will hire again. I told him to ask me again when Obama's second term was done!

Perfect!! Just in time for our Contract. UPS hates having to hire then. But I see Hiring in Mid 2011. I think over 10 767's will be delivered that year.

I hope I'm wrong, but several 75's gone next year.

Gone, as in storage ? Gone as in sold ?

Look at how long they held onto the DC-8s.

I doubt even UPS would be stupid enough to make available a desirable freighter airframe that its largest competitor is acquiring in large numbers ...

Rumors on the B&G are that some of the oldest 757's will be retired as the new 767's arrive.
