Mafferick,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but BRU will not be seeing the B777F - they will be deployed on routes to the far east. As for the B767F, the planning bods still have their thinking hats on. The bird haven't got the legs to carry a full payload (not that such a thing exist in the present climate, but still) direct from BRU or LEJ to JFK or, even less, to ILN. The trans-atlantic flights will see the return of our old friend the Diesel Eight, but eventually it's not outside the realms of possibilty to envision the B767F operating trans-atlantic, not directly from BRU or LEJ bur rather from EMA. There are, however, connection issues involved in that scenario, but that's a different story.

As for your comments regarding EMA complaining, suggest you keep the dirty laundry out of public view, and raise your concerns somewhere they can be properly addressed.

To the best of my knowledge, the outstanding portion of the B767F order (3 frames) has been deferred. They'll arrive, eventually, but not as per the original schedule.
