UPS was originally scheduled to take its first delivery of the A380 freighter in 2009, but last fall Airbus told the package delivery company that the earliest it could get the aircraft was 2010.

Maybe UPS should have paid for 'expedited delivery.' HA!

Well, if UPS does not trust the Airbus to carry EBay boxes of Chinese trinkets, then *I* am not getting on a passenger version.

But the euros believe they are superior and smarter to america in every way, how can this be?

Should be interesting how this plays out with Boeing. The new 747 freighter won't be in production till around 2009 but they sold a bunch already. I wonder if UPS will go with freighter versions of the 777 like Fedex did when they cancelled their A380 order so they can get the planes sooner.
