The Hoveround is a technological marvel. It allows preflights until at least 92 years old.

However, someone last Thursday mentioned that the latest plan is to have all 727's gone within 36 months. About a year to a year and a half earlier than planned even 6 months ago. This time, it sounds like they are serious.

I heard the same exact thing from a management type. But as everyone has clearly pointed out, they have no clue.

Just out of curiosity, are your sources from within the FEDEX 727 community??

Planned date is still Aug 2015...and could still slip right to 2018 depending on how cheap they can get the heavy C-checks.
