Yes, I'd heard that the MD11 was being phased out and there was a downturn in air cargo towards the end of last year. Seems that ANC features quite a lot on the EVA cargo schedule and to points beyond in the US. A thread previously suggested ANC as a base and would be interested to know whether that would still be the case on the 744. Also, any other hints, tips or ideas of what to expect would be really helpful from a current or former EVA pilot.
