Toll freighters
Heard a rumour last night that the Toll freighters had been grounded.
I couldn't see any airborne during a quick check of FR24 around 2300 (EST).
Grounding - fact or fiction?

Anyone started planning fleet replacements yet? It’s a 3-5 year wait for 320/1F as well as 737-800F.
Or do they think these pieces of junk will go another 5 plus years?

Comparing a high cycle jet to a light unpressurised aircraft isn’t valid. As far as the F100 goes…I imagine that the 737s have twice the cycles. When they were young they flew 10+ hours every day for 20 years. Also the Fokker seems to be a more robust airframe.
And has obvious and available replacements, which is what is happening. Airwork has realised it needs to replace the classics. Problem is, they need to replace them now, but as Papajoe said, there is a years long wait for freighter conversations.
Yes, I get that. I was commenting on the implied idea that you could somehow continue to operate geriatric jets well past their scrap-by date.
Anyway, I hope its something that can be repaired to keep them going until replacements arrive.
The 400 is by far the nicest to fly. Actually, the 200 was pretty nice too.

Is Holgate ( ex Aust post ceo ) now running Toll Global . There is a dispute between Aust post and Toll Global . Is it Toll global the operator of these 737? What a small place Australia is. .
