Also interesting that they commented that buying the used W/B did not pan out because of the huge cost to re-do the interiors (and probably get the mods certified and approved!). The announcement that the AA 787's are getting delayed by a few months because of the seats not being approved yet, made me think of this. I had really thought we would see an extra 6-10 used 777's being announced during this last wide body RFP, so maybe the cost proposition shell + rebuilt interiors ended up not making sense on a Capex basis for something that would presumably fly for another 10-12 years only. Maybe we will see the 3 parked 744 come back next summer on an interim basis if oil stays where it is!
