We are stuck in the mud with no appreciable growth for the next 3 or 4 years. If that thing actually shows up sometime in 2026 for revenue service it really won’t make a dent in overall fleet size until late 2027. It will just be replacing beat up 700s on a one-for-for basis initially.

just like you decided to abandon ETOPS because the FAA was dragging their feet?

Guess all of you forgot about how long that actually took.

everyone thought the MAX grounding was going to go on forever until one day the FAA just did their job.

Dont forget the LRD issue.

Honestly I think that one can be resolved in software. If LRD activates, bleed air PRSOV closes automatically. That should be simple, but I'm sure it isn't.
