Doesn't seem too likely in the current market. 767-300's are a hot commodity and going for a premium price. ABX has been interested in -300's for a while. Last I heard none were available at any price at this time.

"You just can't make any money with them." That was the #1 answer that I always got when asking the question. #2 was "they're just too big, a lot of service failures if one of those big birds goes down". Seriously.
IMHO, if Tigers had had DC-10's and Federal Express had had 747's at "T-Day", the company would have parked the last of the DC-10's YEARS AGO!

As far as new lift goes, heard an AOC rumor about purchasing 15 of NWA DC-10-40s. They would be used for primarily charter work. Anyone care to weigh in?

Saw a post on flightinfo saying Fred may have snagged Air Canada's 767-300s.
My rule of thumb is to never go to flightinfo for anything that I would want to take seriously. That website is a glorified romper-room.
