Unfortunately, those decisions still haunt us, as I doubt they will redo an interior on a 30+ year old airplane. I guess if they do, that will be our indication that those planes are going to be around awhile. As they come due for their next heavy check, it will be interesting to see what if anything "extra" is done.
