CargoluxEvergreen B747-400CLF
Perhaps I am missing the point, But, why shouldn't Evergreen have the Boeing contract? After all they are a known cargo carrier and if you folks had been following the aviation press - you would know they got the contract to convert the a/c for Boeing. It seems natural to me, they would fly them afterwards.
As for lack of -400 experience, how many experts were there before 1987? Suddenly everybody and his dog has been peddaling -400s from the cradle. I expect them to learn same as everybody else. Good luck to them.
No connection to Evergreen - psst EIA any jobs going???
