Thread creep aside...
The USPS announcement is next month.
UPS at different levels of management is always looking towards the next jet.
Our 757s are having dispatch reliability issues. Probably from not enough utilization. But after our new 767s get all delivered, it's doubtful that UPS will buy new next time. So what can be converted? There seems to be zero interest in MDs. Also zero in A- whatevers. Which leaves 747-400s, and 777-200s.
My money is on used 777 conversions, which will not, I repeat not be replacement aircraft for our MDs.
Just what I hear from our ACPs.

They are/were ready to convert for FDX,. Bring your own jet and they will convert it at $30 million apiece due to having to replace the floor to be able to handle cargo loads. New ones made more sense.
