The 767 lives on!
 

Things that make you go hmmmmm.................

Looks like we won't have to wait for Air Canada's planes or anybody else's for that matter.

"Production of Boeing's 767 has slowed to about one plane a month, but a source told the Seattle Public Intelligencer that Boeing expects a large freighter order soon, which will allow the commercial line to remain open until at least 2010"

Too bad it probably won't be UPS. Heard it is Al Nippon Cargo that is getting ready to make a large order..

Those will be our 767s. You guys snoozed.

I heard, rumor, that our, UPS', negotiations w/ Boeing for 767s fell apart. Of course, I never heard we were negotiating for new 767s.

Hey. Maybe I'll be flying those. Supposedly we're setting up for a Japan operation for ANA

Got a linky to the article???

I looked all over the SPI website and did find a reference to the one plane a month but that was buried in an article about the tanker program.

Couldn't find anything about a freighter order.

"Large freighter order" discussion is near the end of the article.

Sasquatch...

Maybe you can get widebody pay for those 767's...

New 767 in Purple? No way!
 

Come on, do you really think Fred will buy new 76's when all those used ones will be on the market soon? And isn't it a fact that our containers are not optimized for that airframe? On the other hand, we did buy other Boeings...so...oh well....as my wife knows...I am usually wrong anyways.

The only reason I figured this is because the 767 has been a real workhorse for UPS. They keep going and are reliable. Plus all the Asian carriers seem to only be getting "big" equipment.

That would be definitely nice :) We were cheated on B757 pay after all.

ANA is planning on the 767 as the workhorse in their recently started cargo venture which is planning major expansion. Not that I'm saying they're the ones behind the "large order" but it's a possibility.

I was told the 767 do not work well with our cans??

And Ya, we'll get W/B pay for the beasts.....I hope...
