Why do you say the "last chance"? Will NW move to all 744s once demand picks up? Or do you believe that demand will never pick up? Or for some reason will the A330's replace the 742's instead of the DC-10's? Or some other reason?</font>
It's 20 Questions... with your host, IndustrialPatent!
(just kidding!!!)
The B742 will likely be retired within a year (or sooner). Officially all but two (flying SEA-NRT) will be “parked” for the fall... but “parked” for conversion to freighters may be more like it. A mixture of B744, DC-10, A330 and A320 will replace B742 flying.
