Even a delivery slot for three a year away that some small operator isn’t going to take isn’t going to be given at any significant discount as that is far enough away to be absorbed in the production schedule. Planes for delivery a year from now aren’t even parts yet, they are raw material. Now if they were a purchase of opportunity, sure, but that’s usually a cancellation for something that’s already built or at least very near completion.

As always though, I’ll believe it when I see them on the line.
