Called FedUp, right? That jokes about as old as the one where the FAA shows up with a gun to give Santa a line check.

What about the possible acquisition of an Emery, DHL, or Airborne Express type company. I know rumors have been floating around before about a possible purchase to increase market share.

fleet replacement

Anyone heard any rumors concerning how, when UPS will replace the 727s and/or DC-8s
It might not be a while but just curious what is being heard througout the grapevine

What I've heard is that the 8's and 727's will be around for awhile to come. The 747's are on the way out. I don;t know any specific dates though.

My dream job = Flying a UPS DC-8

N9103M I have your dream job and you might want to think about that dream a little harder. LOL!!

Awww c'mon browntail! A DC-8 with CFM's and semi-Glass can't be all that bad! My dad has worked at UPS for 15 years and I have always wanted to fly for UPS. They just need to drop the nepotisim clause! And I need about another 1000 hours of turbine PIC.........

I'm just glad to hear that you guys were able to avaid the furlough.

Brown to the Bone,

Only if you can't hold the B757/767, B747, MD11, B727 or A300!
