The Lockheed Electra, although a very fine aircraft in its day, may well become uneconomical to operate in the future due to airframe corrosion concerns as well as being a three-crew aeroplane.
Having said this however, most corrosion can be fixed.....unless in the Electra, it is associated with the main landing gear support structure/attach fittings. It then becomes very expensive.
