It might be our first indication of the adjusted growth rate for this year (or could be something else).
If you want to see the silver lining, we’ll still get those airplanes at some point, and either the company will accept the slower growth rate, or try to catch up whenever Airbus can increase deliveries. If it’s the later, then upgrade time will come back down to under 3 years.
company is still actively shopping on the used market as well.
