747 freighters for QF??
Righto, just a question...
What's the reckoning on this 747 freighter caper? Gregg's said that they may convert an existing passenger airframe.
So, what's the money on - a 743 or 744 SCF?
743s would be high hours and not much change out of 20 yrs old, so is it worth converting (and so keeping the costs of another airframe/engine combination plus Classic F/C skills), or go down the Cathay path and convert OJA (now getting on for what, 17 years old?) at next D-check time?
Or see what sort of deal Seattle would do for a 748 deal involving an F-model or two... ? But that's another can or worms entirely.
