I was probably one of the people to doubt what you said. Just doesn’t make a lot of sense in this environment. That said, if the plane is no longer supported, it doesn’t leave any other option. IF true, you were correct.

Unless we order more 76’s (we can’t order anymore 74’s) or something else, we will be net negative in a few years, upwards of 20 airframes net negative. Might give the company the perfect opportunity they always crave to down size or right size if we enter a recession. With amount of retirements in the future movement will most likely not come to a screeching halt, but I can see it slowing down to a trickle if we go net negative in airframes. If the consumer shuts down their wallet, e-commerce will take a hit. Flashing signs everywhere.
Or cut off Amazon!

ICAO, not EU emissions standards are driving it..but otherwise that is accurate, they currently will be banned from production come 2028. Boeing has applied for an exemption for the 777F and 767F...we'll see what happens.

edit: by new production, I mean of airframes that don’t meet the new standard.

I’m talking about the MD’s. It was said upthread that “external factors” may cause them to be parked. Wondering if external factors just apply to brown, or if purple will have to park theirs as well?

Sorry, misunderstood. My assumption is that external forces would apply to all MD operators.
