Cheap fuel has been the primary problem, if it goes back up drastically than I would expect orders to rise. Speaking on the cargo side the capital cost of a -8 needs expensive fuel to offset the cheaper capital cost of a classic/400. This is why the HSV folks gave back one of the -8's and are using primarily 400's to supplement the one remaining.
