It doesn't say so in the article but these aren't production line models like Atlas's. These will be converted pax planes. Conversion on these starts this year and they will be available next year at considerably less than 150 million. My guess is somewhere between 30 and 50 million.
Boxes may not care what plane they are in but shippers do. There's a preference for the 747 because of the greater pallet height among other reasons.
