We take delivery of almost 50 WB airplanes over the next 3.5 years assuming no further announcements of aircraft orders. These are additional airplanes not replacements.

What happened was a substantial business increase. This created the need for all of those airplanes plus an additional 80 to 100 airplanes over the next 5-7 years. That’s why they made the 76 additional 20 airframes announcement as well as 50 more options.

According to the latest 10Q, the dozen or so 10-30s are supposed to be parked by June.
Although I’ve heard that there are 3 MD11s coming on line.

As I stated above the 10q has almost 50 WB growth airframes in the next 3.5 years. This accounts for the retired -30 airframes. So if they keep the -30 we have more than 50.

Well, your previous post specifically said those aircraft orders were growth. Presumably they replace the dozen outgoing 10-30s within the next 3.5 years.

The growth numbers account for the planned retirement of airframes. These are additional airframes from what we currently have. I don't know how to make it any clearer to you. Look at the chart, it shows the planned retirement and deliveries. Then a net gain number. Simple.

Obviously with the P2Fs starting now they figured it out, but that the story as it was told 10-13 years ago when the 777 first came to us.

Yeah, really clear on the chart. Not so much from your previous post. In other words, not all orders yet to be delivered are purely growth, as you seemed to insinuate.
