Reading an article in Flight International about the latest delays to Boeing's 7-late-7, I came across the following interesting statement:
One industry source told Flight International that these fears have already resulted in widebody values being "artificially high". As Boeing looks at ways of bridging the capacity shortfall, sources say that one option being examined is to redirect the 767 production planned for its now defunct KC-X tanker bid towards the passenger market.
So at least
some folk at Boeing seem to have accepted that their KC-767A is a dead duck for the USAF. Mind you, trying to persuade people waiting for the 7-late-7 that they should buy the 767-300ER instead seems somewhat optimistic to me....
