(04 Sep 2015, 2:18 pm)tyresmoke I do wonder what will happen to the aircraft that run the Royal Mail contract overnight - this is a high value part of their business still which cannot be served with 737-800's. Unless they can work with Boeing to develop a QC version of the -800.

To be honest, I think the QC models will stick around, especially with them investing in glass cockpits for them, as I read somewhere. Some of their 757s are from the 1980's - I think these would be first to go.

The only other thing for LS to do if they wanted to up their cargo revenue is to invest in containerised aircraft, as per BA short haul fleet. Apparently that's why A321s are often rotated up to NCL if there's a big demand for cargo space (I've been on a few, but they were all full anyway!). With this order of 738's - it doesn't seem to be likely.
