CX and CV both have a single frame on order, would it not have been easier to lease that capacity instead of buying a new one straight from Boeing, since we have so many whitetails sitting around at PAE? Also if Asiana is in contention, why not put those frames there? Silkway? ABC?<br /><br />It looks like GECAS is not offering good rates for the leases, not because there is a shortage of potential operators. <br /><br />GECAS had so many opportunities to get potential lessee's on side and after it being in the backlog for this long??charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240822003768520334noreply@blogger.com
