Possibly. The rumor I hear is that there is a 50% chance they will go to Atlas to be operated by them. Hopefully not as I would love to have the opportunity to fly it. It will probably come down to a question of who can operate them more cost efficiently.

Good move, since A380-800Fs won't be delivered until the end of the decade.

What's that saying: "If it ain't Boeing, I'm not Going"? Apparently if its Airbus, I'm definently not going 'cause the 380 can't get delivered <>
