The tariffs are a mess of questions but I was more referring to a few at a time. Not quite a binary all or nothing. There are still plenty of grounded birds out there and I would guess companies that would like to capitalize on the uncertainty. United has stated so though reality is often different than what Kirby says.

My brother in Christ, you do realize you're talking to Halon right now right?

I only have three accounts and that’s not one of them.

Im one of these accounts, and I/you/we have 4. So you/we have at least 5. We DIDs need to get on the same page.

Didn't make a fortune but absolutely made enough in that business to do whatever else I want to do for the rest of my life.

I'm betting you didn't, for no other reason than your reductive analysis of the aircraft market belies a complete and utter lack of understanding of what's going on in the industry. If you are applying your analyst mind to the industry you allegedly work in and coming up with these outcomes, than it is more than likely your analytical abilities also failed you in other trades.

The used aircraft market is so supply constrained that the lessors of whatever airplanes NK doesn't own cannot wait to take them back and flip them.
