[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 911569, member: 12508"] It takes many years to recoup the price of a new aircraft, even when fuel prices are sky high. The real point here is that upper management made the decision to upgrade the DC10 fleet into MD10's, which turned out to be the wrong decision. Twin engine wide-body freighters like the 767, and narrow-body freighters like the 757 have been available since the 80's, and while UPS was smart enough to buy a bunch of them, Fred wasn't. Who gets to pay for that poor management decision? We do. Think there will be any money in the pot left for us? [/QUOTE]
