It is expected to be announced on their call this am - rumot has it the spouses were pressuring executives to get them back on trips.

I (err my wife) can certainly relate to this......

"you're in a foul mood, we're both arguing about everything, I think you need to go on a trip"
 
Was at ROW where there’s 9 UPS MDs sitting along with one from Western Global, probably gonna get parted out. I saw 275UP sitting dead here in west cargo at PHX, sad sight.

I'm pretty sure the MD's at KROW have been there a long time. Pre-crash. UPS had been downsizing the fleet for a while. The post crash MD's are scattered about.

What did UPS do with their DC-8s when they retired them? Were they sold somewhere to keep flying, or were they scrapped?
 
None of them were sold, to my knowledge. Did you see any at KROW? I thought I saw one there a year ago. In any case, they are beer cans now. Just like the 72's.
