everything is a rumor until it happens.

brown is getting the 380...no its the 73..no its the 744..hold on this just in--falcon 20's..all just rumors.

brown to furlough--no going to hire..hold on this just in...

opinion: not going to pick up any dc8's--doesn't fit into the big plan.

To all ABX'ers,


For what it's worth, our MEC asked Astar management, and they agreed, to give any ABX pilots furloughed out of this mess preferential interview treatment. A minimum of 20 slots will be created starting in 2005. I wish there were room for all.

If this is true, any even distant possibility that UPS could scoop up the 8's really cheaply, convert em with the CFM engines and GROW the DC8 fleet?
Im way out on a thin limb here......its prolly over the budget for a classic.....
any thoughts?

The jigs to manufacture the pylons burnt in a fire in SAT years back....The company, I believe was Gamma corp.

You won't be seeing that conversion again. The stretch 8 is one super-freighter.
