By indefinite I meant that they didn’t nominate a date for further development on the -8. I am pretty sure they’ll make it, but their press statements seem to be aimed at the share market rather than the plane market.
Earlier in the thread mention was made of Boeing having a lot of 2020 delivery slots for current 777 models available. I don’t know what the current recession fears are doing to world fleet acquisition plans, but those slots aren’t selling. Perhaps all the current 777 operators have planned for and are waiting for the 777-9.
