Look at the last paragraph on this page: http://www.boeing.com/commercial/cmo/3-5.html The large-airplane market is small. The intermediate-size fleet will more than double, augmented by 5,154 deliveries. By comparison, the world fleet of 747-size and larger airplanes is projected to grow by approximately one-fourth over the next 20 years, augmented by 787 passenger and freighter airplane deliveries. There will continue to be specialized applications for 747-size and larger airplanes, such as on dense routes flown by a limited number of airlines. -- David Mueller / MRY dmueller7@xxxxxxxxx http://www.quanterium.com
