So finally the latest I've heard is we are thinking of taking the old 757's and running them as dedicated sports charter aircraft. I don't think the NBA deal is as big of a cash cow as everyone thinks it is.
There are a large number of 319 available. If they were looking they should have been able to find lots of them. Last I heard we are converting 10 757's for charter.

Anyone with experience shipping boxes on FedEx? What kind of discount do we get? Thanks.
Go to a FedEx shipping station (Kinko's, too), show them your Delta ID and they'll brief you the discounts available on next-day or two-day shipment times.

Personally, I've always used the two-day rate due to the discount and cost, but as always, DYODD. YMMV.

From a pretty reliable source: We will sell 10 757-200s to the NBA. They will mod the interiors, livery remains DAL and we will operate them as dedicated charter birds.
The expect to use them for MLB charters as well.

I will admit I don't follow "regular season" hockey, but the Hawks-Kings series has been the most exciting I've ever seen! Well, now that it's tied up again, maybe I spoke too soon. Go Hawks!!!

FedEx discount: 75% off of airmail. No discount on other forms of shipping.

I know this isn't the end all but Global Plane Search lists only two A319s at $24 and $22M.

Airbus Airliners for Sale in the USA at GlobalPlaneSearch.com

Now if they want A320s, no shortage. 20 year old bird seems to be around $5M, 15 year old bird around $17M and a new one at $48M.

So I wonder why not A320s?

There are only 9 757s listed and the only one with a price is $9.5M for 1995 ETOPs. I wonder if the cargo market is eating those up?

They show MD-88s... I know winner winner... at $3-$4M. And those should have airstairs.

Why not go with that or is it that they need transcon capability? I wonder why not go to Embraer and get the EMB-190 Lineage with an all first class interior. I'm sure they'd sell a 8 of those for a decent price?

The first website I checked listed 15 for sale.

Dublin or Shannon had at least 20 parked on the airfield not long ago.
