I’ve not heard a firm date (not that it would mean anything anyways) but all signs point to the fleet staying at the current size until 2030. At that point things become much murkier and I’m sure it will depend on a variety of factors such as mx/engine overhaul costs, the economy, whether Boeing and Airbus can give us the new planes we’d want to replace the flying, etc.
