It wouldn’t take much, at least in airline terms to sink them for sure, so far they’ve been lucky, arguably very lucky, but the keep pushing it, Argentinian AOC ....12 months ago I’d have agreed about splitting the narrow body order, but that MAX is a good replacement for the NG, but I think the 321neoLR is or will be better and probably a lower cost seat kilometre than the 787 on certain routes.
at a time when Emirates are having to curtail their summer capacity due pilots shortage, BA using Titain to slot sit at LGW due aircraft and pilot shortage, FR praying for summer ATC strikes to save pilot hours Norwegian have aircraft orders, aircraft and crews, but zero profitability so I reckon it will be £6 a share to get a deal maybe more, yes you can wait until it goes tits up, but then there are no guarantees as IAG found out with Lauda, so if you want 32 787 100 plus new Airbus before 2021 maybe a deal to be done.
