Three 747-800s, Four 747-400s, couple of triples inbound this year aside from operating another customers pair of triples. Not too shabby adding 11 large airframe flight decks to operate on. Nice to aggressively proceed forward in the large cargo aircraft where the bigger profit resides. Doesn't seem to be much of a shortage of chairs at the table and hopefully training can diligently handle the rollover. If anywhere, training is where the fatal funnel resides especially with a recent major brain trust departure. We will miss this person, Godspeed to our friend and happy retirement. Beers Up!

We are still operating 2 777s for DHL (N714SA & N777SA) with no announced plans for their future. Those are leased by DHL from another party. DHL took back their 2 owned 777s and 2 leased 777s earlier this year. 2 Titan owned 777s moved off the Polar certificate and onto the Atlas certificate and now operate for new customers.

Announcing aircraft purchases without new customers or growth in cargo is a slippery slope.
What happened to the 4 triple 777s they announced in 2021?
I know a few people on the 747 with Atlas and they are barely working. Is this aircraft purchase simply to make investors happy because you don't have any work for them now or in the near future?

There is more open time in 747 than ever before, and this peak will be open time extravaganza.
Currently we are turning away customers because we don't have enough heavy lift.
Don't know where you got your info from, but it's 100% wrong. Barely working is just a feature here, we generally don't work very hard, but there is record amount of flying right now.
