I believe I read they are parking 10 700’s per year over the next 4-5 years and delivering 40-50 Max’s per year over the same time frame.

Our retirements pick up around 2020 as well. We start retiring around 200+/year in 2020 due to age 65.
So, if we are completely stagnant, i.e. zero net change in schedule, how do we replace the retirements? Unlike our superior brothers and sisters at the legacies, we don't have the Express/Connection that we can outsource our flying to. So how, and at what ratio do we replace our retirements?

What's going on in the economy aside from the Wall Street gamblers, pardon me, "investors" being "worried" about the price of tea in China? Should I take my 401k into cash and let these gambl... investors (sorry!) play with someone else's money?

If you're talking about the stock market instead, then that's a different thing entirely. The stock market has had a run up for quite a while and was overdue for at least some sort of correction. The political nonsense coming out of DC may be exaggerating the swings but the stock market is pretty much business as usual. Pick any 5-year period in history and the stock market is up like 95% of those 5-year periods, in spite of the crashes, corrections, etc etc.
When the stock market is down, that really just means that it's ON SALE so go get you some
It'll go back up in spite of the "resistance" nonsense, just like it always does.

And yet DL lowered their outlook for 2019 based in part on a a declining consumer confidence.
I think I heard how great the economy was in 2007/2008 during the first part of the presidential election cycle. How'd that turn out?

Earlier this year Gary said we wouldn’t start to retire -700’s until 2022 unless oil started trending higher. At which time the -7 Max orders should start ramping up. What he says and what happens....who knows
