Western Global Parks All But One MD-11?

What's up with Western Global? As of today, only one of their MD11s is flying (and 2 of their 747s).

Of the other 11 MD11s in their "active" fleet, one is broken in ICN, one is broken in ANC (after eng 3 fail on climb coupla weeks ago), one is in heavy maint in TPE, and the rest -- 8 of them -- have been moved to SHV and RSW. Word from RSW is they're just sitting there.

In a different year, one might say that there's no business. But in THIS market?

Maybe they'll all emerge tomorrow and start new contracts, but to see them head to SHV and RSW one-by-one, leaving just one available for any kind of flying...seems strange.

Just curious.
