[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 546508, member: 4932"] Actually, UPS has grounded all DC-8's. The engines may be more efficient than the originals, but a 4-engine plane burns more gas than a 2-engine plane. 727's are gone, also, for the same reason. AND, they need 3 people in the cockpit instead of 2. 50% more personnel cost, and pilots ain't cheap. UPS' real cost advantage over FredEx is the air network. Their airfeed costs are much lower than FredEx because of a more efficient network. Industrial Engineers can be a real pain in the butt sometimes, but this is one area they really earn their keep.
