UPS adds three more 767s

Flying with empty bellies on those planes instead of buying some LD3s makes perfect sense...

I had heard these frames were purchased only to subsidize lift for frames that were out of service for the cockpit retrofit. Knowing UPS probably to reduce available used 76's to Amazon and Fed Ex. Thoughts?

I also heard from our ex fleet training manager that now that the price of fuel has dropped, they won't be getting winglets on these.

Winglets only become efficient at or near max range. If they plan on operating aircraft domestically on shorter flights, this costs fuel due to the extra weight of the winglets.
