As long as we're guessing and speculating...there are now only 15 remaining freighter orders. Ten from UPS and five from International Finance Lease Corp.

I'm no CFO but if I were building an airplane that needed 420 units to break-even (up from the original estimate of 270) and I only had 142 orders on the books remaining (down from 159), I don't know if I'd want to commit my company to the additional expenditure of tooling up for 15 units of another type (the freighter) of what is already a loss generating product.
