AA/DL are hiring for retirements for now and not growth. Worst case a recession hits and they chop from the head instead of the toe with retirements and early outs
My understanding is about 100 of the UN wide body orders are planned for replacement of existing metal being retired. So, if they do not execute any options (which they likely will), they will stay at 25%. So, not 50% wide body.
