I suppose they have to get rid of there well used rusted fleet some day. I have seen the state of there 747's at KVCV from under there cargo holds how they managed to keep these big things flying and adding parts to them has go me puzzled in there condition there in. I do know for a fact the really run them into the ground until they are chopped up as did Ansett Australia many years ago.
Good choice of aircraft they went for. But they should have opted the B777X as well
How long and how many times are we going to hear about this. This was announced week before last and this is the 3rd or 4th time that a story about it of some type has been posted.
