How many of those A330 NEO's and A350's do we have on the line today? Zero. Yet we are parking 747's and most of them will be parked before the first A330 NEO or A350 shows up.
Now, let's talk about pay rates. Go check the A330 pay rate vs. the 747.
The A330/350 order was stated by Richard to be a 'replacement' order, for the 767ER's.
Do not confuse Replacement with Growth. They are not the same.
