As for retiring the 756. IF Boeing can deliver the Max, the Max800 could handle all the close-in, small market Europe flying. The cargo would take a hit, but we could still serve the cities until the 321XLR comes along. Better plan would be to keep just enough 757/767 to cover the larger cargo markets and then just fill in the gaps with the MAX. In either even, assuming we take delivery of the MAX and the 787's this year (and next), something has to leave. We are not in a growth environment.
