UPS -8 Rumor
 
This is just what I heard the other night from the Boeing Rep in SDF. Exercised the 14 options and ordered 14 more. 42 -8's. The rep said he didn't know why UPS hasn't announced it yet. I laughed a little bit!
YMMV.

To borrow a phrase, this is more probable than not.

42-8’s ???

Wouldn’t that be 28 total?

No....14 + 14 options + 14 more would be 42.

Outstanding!!!

Wait, 42 minus 8 equals 34. I'm so confused!

“The Boeing Rep in Louisville” is pretty vague. Boeing is a huge company. Was this someone from Boeing headquarters or in sales? Or was it a low or mid-level manager?

higher level math in a jet is a bad idea. :D
