All four? What about 743WA? The rumor is that this airplane is going to be returned to World soon.

I thought DHL actually owned the 777's.

I think they are owned by Oak Hill and flown by SA for DHL.

Correct. And 743WA is a 747-400 under a less than one year lease, it's also a disgustingly dirty a/c inside.

Default 777's

Southern has more 777's ordered and yet to be delivered. More realistically Southern will sell their slots to FedEx or Emirates who also have back orders for the 777F for years ahead.

As for the 4 current 777F's operated by Southern, doubt they will be sold unless the airline liquidates and ceases operation.

Check the Boeing website. Southern has no 777's in the pipeline. The story goes that FedEx bought the slots last year.
