I am glad to hear this because I will be able to call in a few bets!!
Seriously though, if this is true it is unsuprising and is worthy of 2 comments.
1/ It was only ever a smoke screen to hide the axing of their latest 747 and 767 incarnations.
2/ It never had the speed to overcome to TransPac problem of the jetstream. Going east in a 744 at 35-40K in a jetstream would yeild you a similar speed to the Chronic Snoozer at 50K without a jetstream.
