Beauty. Had a buddy take a MD10-30 to VCV the other day, and brought an MD11 home to MEM. They aren't done yet!

Sad, such a great airplane. There won’t ever be another like the MD-11.

Yes, in my opinion the most awesome planes are the MD-11, 747, and the 757.

Wow. How time flies. Can’t believe they’re aging out.

They aren’t wasting any time getting rid of the 6.

It’s dictated by the engines timing out, not hasty shedding of excess assets, according to the Mx higher upper I was chatting with.

Been hearing that for a while as well and don’t really doubt it’s the plan. That said, at UPS, todays plan is always different from tomorrow’s.

Key distinction here. If business was booming they’d pay to overhaul the engines. It’s not, so parking timed out jets makes cents.

Next earnings report is Jan 31. Might hear more then.

Not a distinction at all. I was not specific with what may change. Maybe they’ll park more? Or maybe some unforeseen market shift will occur and we keep all of them, and anything in between. Point is todays plans mean less than nothing in a dynamic environment.
