FDX news per Airways Magazine
Picked up "US Airlines Magazine" which appears to be a special edition of Airways Magazine, on page 38, a blurb about FDX.
Highlights:
2014: begin deliveries of 767-300's to replace A310's and MD-10's
2015: Gradual retirement of 64 MD-11's, 727 retired by 2015
"Most" 777F's on order deferred until 2018
maybe old news....just putting it out there

When I left the Active Duty USN in 1987 there was an article in Aviation Week that said for every A300 FedEx took delivery, that they intended to retire 2 727's ...
That never happened either ... believe it when it actually happens

We didn't order the A-300 until around 1991. In fact, Airbus hadn't even come up with a freighter design yet (1987). We were the launch customer. Took delivery of the first one in 1994.
