If they were adjusting the order book, that would mean a lot different story than just sale leasebacks.
Does it make sense to sell older aircraft that are paid off, or nearly paid off to just lease them back? I know the MAX’s aren’t paid off. But I can’t think of a scenario where selling older planes to lease them back makes sense.
