Bit techhy for me typically but isn't the 734 a bit range restricted (apparently the reason UA went for the A320 rather than the 734 in the early 90's as 734 couldn't do JFK-LAX non-stop year round)? Given freighters tend to fly close to MTOW the 734 may not be ideal for AAE as it may struggle to do missions such as SYD-PER non-stop into the prevailing winds.
I wasn't even aware that there was a freighter conversion kit around for the 734 but I see from a search on A.net that it does exist.
