Can't help with the 'when', but here's some 'what' -- found in the 3/31/07 SEC 10-Q filing: ...edgar-online.com/fetchFilingFrameset.aspx?FilingID=5168570

(1) On February 2, 2007, one Boeing 747F aircraft was removed from scheduled service, and the Company intends to remove an additional Boeing 747F aircraft from scheduled service during the remainder of 2007.

The Company took delivery of two Airbus A330-300 aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2007. In connection with the acquisition of these aircraft, the Company entered into long-term debt arrangements. Under such arrangements, the aggregate amount of debt incurred totaled $167 million.


Note 11 – Aircraft Impairments
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded $13.3 million related to the impairment of three owned aircraft, which were permanently removed from service. These charges reflect the Company’s decision to park three DC9-30 aircraft permanently, consistent with the Company’s ongoing review of its aircraft fleet plan in conjunction with its overall route structure and capacity requirements. The first quarter 2007 impairment charges were recorded as reorganization expenses.

So they actually wrote off 13.3 mio$ for retiring 3 DC9 which are supposedly written off twice over after 38 years of operation?
