I sure never figured it would be the cargo folks to cancel out of the A-380
first.  The business model for them seem better to me then passengers.  On
then pick up 777's.  Going to be interesting to see the order books at the
end of this year.

The company's FedEx Express unit has ordered 15 Boeing Co. 777 freighters
and taken options on an additional 15, FedEx said in a news release. The
company cited Airbus' production delays as the reason for the decision.
