1 point for each of you. We still have a really big anchor in the form of debt. If that is NOT a consideration for anemic growth, then there should be a WB order to reflect that. I don't see much on the horizon. 10 330s every 15 years and a 777 every 5 does not equate to much growth. Again, if it were an investment that were growing like that, I would pull my money.
