FDX is not the only cargo operator getting 777s. UPS will simply contract out for the quick service, high $ freight.

Might even make more on it.

Make more on it? Sorry, but the point is to bypass ANC which saves money. All while making service faster and offering a product that UPS can't offer.

It's obvious you haven't seen the numbers yet. This will be fun to watch. We will be getting our revenge on UPS' Brown Bailout.

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure about flamebait, but I guess the truth hurts. Maybe you can explain to me how UPS will be able to compete with FedEx other than in Washington with this bogus legislation.

I'm all ears.

Lemme guess... You just started training? And day one there was this manglement guy telling you what a great airplane you were about to fly?

Or... you ARE the manglement guy, and one of the students at day one told you about this site....?

Which numbers are you talking about? The 777 hourly rates yet TBD, or the ones that show a 48 hour guarantee for a 4 week bid and a 60 hour guarantee for a 5 week bid?

This will be fun to watch.
yes it will.

Long hauler,

Honestly, I need the education. What are the numbers that got you so "long" on the 777 compared to the 400?
