You're right, who needs those government regulators. Let the private industry do it unsupervised! The FAA allowed Boeing to design and SELF CERTIFY the MCAS system, what could go wrong?!?

Maybe they could divert some assets of the IRS or CBP.

Yeah but that does not really help your argument since the government let them do it. And really with the current FAA staffing issues I’m not sure they are a shining example of excellence.

But you do need a balance between government and pvt industry.

No, you need proper oversight in safety -sensitive industries. The private industry just won't do it themselves, they just won't.

Can't imagine JB will be buying any NK deliveries while deferring A-321 deliveries until 2028. Any thoughs on how this affects total numbers of planes on property at the ends of 2024 and 2025 and what mix of planes?

They are negotiating lease extensions/purchases off lease for the old 320s. So, the fleet will look similar to today with a handful of extra NEOs/LRs, 20 or so 220s per year, and 12-15 190s end of this year, 0 end of 2025.

my EOY 2025 fleet guess is:
110-125 or so A320s
63 A321CEOs
40-45 321NEOs (mix of HD, LD, LR)
60-65 A220s
0 190s

Yep, that isn't proper oversight, and look what happened.

Have you watched the Netflix documentary "Downfall: The Case Against Boeing"?
