I suspect that after Joyce sails off into the sunset and a new CEO comes along and looks at the fleet ages they will get the shock of their life. The only aircraft not due for replacement are the 787s everthing else is getting to its use by date. Tens of billions of $$$ will be needed for fleet replacement.
