[QUOTE="airbusfxr, post: 562464, member: 11914"] We are buying 747-4 and 767 because airbus cannot give us a product we need. The only reason the A300 were acquired was because FDX had them and UPS is always trailing FDX when it comes to aviation. Remember FDX is an airline with trucks, and UPS is a trucking company with airplanes. UPS had a nurse, trucker and IE on the airplane buying team, instead of pilots, mechanics, and experts. In the 1990's we stuck small motors on the 727's instead of buying the STC from FDX to install hush kits, this wasted millions of dollars and set the airline back years. We begged for the 747-4 and management just shrugged and said "we have a nurse and trucker buying airplanes, they know best" [/QUOTE]
