With current order backlogs, it may take 3-4 years at least to get a new airplane (unless you use the more expensive lessors). Both Boeing and Airbus have longer backlogs than Bombardier/Airbus and Embraer. Will be interesting to see what shakes out - hopefully sooner than later.

Backlogs are a marketing tool. If you want a Boeing or Airbus, you will get one. Just look at all the “orders” at Farnborough and check which ones were actual money down orders.... there is a big difference

The question isn’t can we get planes on property. The question is can we get planes at the right price on property in a timely manner.

Full disclosure...I’m an F9 guy and as much as I HATE Franke I have to say locking up 400+ airbuses was a good move. He can either build his empire cheaper than anybody else for the next 8 years or sell his positions to somebody that values them more.

It's nothing new. Steven Udvar-Hazy made so much money doing just that he built a museum you and I can go to for free (as long as we pay for parking, of course).

Maybe...but to get a new one you’re either A) buying it from the entity that has the rights to that plane for more money than they spent or B) getting first right of refusal and hoping somebody backs out.

All true. My point was there are airframes available

Looks like our next 5 NEOs (913, 906, 915, 912, 907) are coming from Tianjin Airlines
