so savings either have to be made or we lose the asset completely.
So to save money, we buy a whole new fleet? Where would this money come from? Who would buy the redundant airframes, in this economic climate?

Again, as I already pointed out and others have re-iterated, in UK, singles are not allowed to be used for night public transport. That was stoppped twenty years or so ago, after accidents involving night flights in inadequately equipped singles. A lesson still not learned over the Atlantic, judging by the poor safety record for night operations.
