DHL to replace 2 DC-9's at Riverside

[Jurassic Jet]

So 2 DC-9's are going away at RIV. Supposed to be replaced with something quieter, but no mention of who or what.

Mid September. Hmmm.... isn't ABX supposed to get a couple more 767's ...?

Isn't RIV set up as a C-can sort? If so then it should be a C-can 767. No worries.

Huh, quieter that a DC-9...hmmm, lemmee see...yep, just about everything except a SR-71 and the space shuttle...

I think we need another hint!

Knowing DHL, they'll probably replace them with 6 DC-3's and a pack mule.

Yeah, but is DHL going to pay more than 1.75%? I haven't seen any movement in that area from either side. And the 2 sides don't seem to be playing well together (ABX board rejects...Astar withdraws...) RIV is sorting C's for the 5 DC9's and 1 767, A's for the MD11. Could redeploy C-can 767's from elsewhere...The press release said "newer & quieter", so the A300, DC8 or 727 don't seem likely. What about a couple of Kitty Hawk 737's? CP's office said they learned about this same way we did--the SoCal newspaper.
