A380s for UPS?

"Sources suggest Airbus is now close to clinching an order worth about £1bn from United Parcel Service for its new superjumbo, the A380."

Posted this question on another thread as well, but here goes again:


For military types, what is UPS looking for regarding their PIC requirement? Are most folks just using time since they made aircraft commander minus their other time, or are they using a percentage of their aircraft commander time, etc.? Does UPS stipulate this anywhere, I know that other companies do, but haven't seen this anywhere on the application. Thanks for the help!

I guess that if UPS does decide on the 380, the IPA will come out with buttons similar to what the Eagle lifers did a few years back with the 80 for 80 slogan, only this time it will say 380 for 380!

Rumor

The latest "rumor" around Memfo is that FedEx will pick up a lot of the A300 options UPS had with Airbus......that should stir the pot somewhat.....

According to my contacts at UPS, that would be the best thing that UPS could do try and screw with FedEx!
