747-400 substitution
An A330 is going in for a 30 day maintainance check this month. I understand a 747-400 is going to be used on DTW-AMS for a bit. It might be a chance for some to get a last chance ride before they're all retired.

This was noted in the original thread on the 747, but it does merit its own thread since DTW-AMS would be used by many here.

I've seen this before -- in the last year or two -- on AMS and CDG.
Does anyone else think there's a slight chance this could continue happening after the 747 is officially retired from Asian flights? Like last year, when Delta added a Tokyo-Las Vegas flight for CES.

I think with the 744 and the fact that it's being retired in the winter, it may be less likely as there may not be any slack for it to be needed but we'll see.

Still haven't gotten the chance to fly on the upper deck...
At least the A330 had the new, awesome seats, but it wasn't Upper Deck...
