Sadly,this is but the latest occurrance on many.

 

Yes,my company sold 8 of their MD-11s to Fedex that were mothballed in the desert back in the fall of '04.

Fedex is the largest operator,by far,of the MD-11.

If the railway act falls through for Fedex, then the boeing order will be cancelled and FredSmith will purchase,units unsure of, the new airbus and hopefully faise out the MD's.

Not quite. Fedex has a firm order for 15, 777-200LRFs. What they have said is they may cancel their options for 15 more, IF they are forced to open their shop to the Unions. Sounds more like political rhetoric than anything else, especially when you consider airbust doesn't currently make any type of freighter that comes even close to the capabilities of the 777F (-200LRF).
