Scott Davis is getting a G650, and he's having auditions for which NURPs will fly it, which will be flight attendants and which will...well, you know. ;)

At least start a rumor that has a snowballs chance. No more planes that are convertible like the 72s were which means UPS would have to buy passenger birds. Um...yeah.

Wait, aren't regionals parking a bunch of old, ragged out 50 seat RJs. Maybe this rumor will get legs after all. Can we get some from Cargolux?

Which company could better handle the purchase of 767's on its books for pax use.....UPS or Atlas?

5 or 6 pax 767's would barely be a rounding error on the UPS market cap...how much more of a % is it for Atlas?

Their first try didn't go well, but they have developed an exciting new angle with the business model in the new pax service rollout.

Each passenger will be individually boxed and picked up and delivered.
No more tiresome airport waits, crummy hotels or boring inflight movies.

The box is called a "time capsule, moving at the speed of brown" and this is gaiyly emblazoned on the outside to avoid confusion.
Each pax will preselect the food and beverage of their choice and be provided with an ipad loaded with wonderful entertainment.

Passengers may also choose the exciting option of being stacked vertically of horizontally.
