I see your emotional attachment to a dying fleet, but in your own words, walk us through a fleet renew/replace cycle.
Management could have better managed the drawdown, but that doesn't change that it's time to drag Old Yeller behind the shed and put her down.
As for unreliable stats, are you really going to insist that we post fuel burn and segment completions?
