Yeah, I'm all for teaching a guy to fish, but was a bit irked he didn't even tell me where the fishing pole was (what page on deltanet etc.)--BB finally posted that. And I very often modify my opinions based on posts from slow and alfa, when they are calm and informative.

However, YOU and BB both posted some very good discussion in the last few pages with numbers of fleets, some thoughts on what might retire, and what the final numbers might look like--which I truly appreciate! Thanks! You're so dang fast you already replied before I could offset your penalty for "good research".

Very glad about the aircraft announcement, let's all hope for the best and that the scenario plays out as a good amount of growth, though none of us can predict all the variables or how much mgt caution is just sensible management of wall street.
Better? "Go johnso, Go johnso!"
