What is the news, that you are taking over FDX'S cancelled orders?

Nashmd11 02-15-2007 08:45 AM

I can't say. But he is pretty far up the Food Chain.

If there making an announcement, my guess is it not good news for Airbus. We already know that they ordered.

More 747s or are we going all in with the 380?

I will predict that the A380 cancellation rumor is wrong.

The procurement manager told another pilot while riding the jumpseat that so far we plan on taking the A-380 due to the slot restrictions out of China.

IF those spoken words can be trusted!

This reminds me of the outright denial of any new aircraft purchases just before the 767 buy was made public.
I say the White Elephant bites the dust shortly.

I am telling you. Go with the A330..

I have this strange feeling that we're going to order the A-380F. Lufthansa is bringing one to JFK and IAD soon. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...nsa-visit.html

I wouldn't be surprised to see it make a pitstop at SDF as well. Airbus is desperate for some good news.
