Possibly a few not flyable. Mistreated. Spare parts planes. But maybe they can work a miracle.
What can you do to a 717 that isn't done on a day to day basis?
At one point, Delta considered building L1011's themselves, so a little speed tape and those ought to be good to go. Good news, especially for those wanting a west coast operation.
Also some rumblings about Boeing re-opening the 757 line. Don't know how that would be possible, I thought the tooling was destroyed. But nice rumor!!
