Jump to postI wonder if losing that contract will affect how many more Cessna 408 SkyCouriers FedEx plans to take. They have 50 on order and have had ~18 of those delivered so far.
Jump to postThis probably means the delays are much bigger/longer than most of us are thinking. If it was only 12-18 months, I strongly doubt they would implement such a program. I suspect we’re looking at a major reduction in velocity of new deliveries. My thoughts as well. There are 10 MAX 10 built for UA ju...
