U say they cant get the last 2 380's flying due no maint capacity, i conclude then that there are 8 flying as 2 are being scrapped.
Compared to pre covid 1/3 of 380 fleet is gone as of right now?
Although there are a few more 787's, apart from 4 less 380's there are also 6 less 744's & from past history just because there are 8 380's it doesnt mean they are all available due to them being very labour intensive.
I wonder if they have asked or contacted any of the Lame's that departed the company if they would come back even if only short term.
I am led to believe there are 2 of those guys over in LAX right now trying to sort the place out.
