Amazon gone, DHL gone. Who is left?
777 is the future of the airline, IMO. Also there's business for the 767. The strength of this place is diversity: diversity in customers, diversity in lift, diversity in sales. But the future is unpredictable. All it takes is one leader with short term thinking to scuttle the whole enterprise. So my predictions are worth nothing.
Reading the tea leaves: take a look back at the ideas that Amazon was going to buy us, that we were going to have 777 pax planes ASAP, that we'd be flying Airbus freighters, etc. Few thought re-shoring would be a big deal and even fewer predicted a mass restreat of the US from global trade. We suck at predictions.
