Yes, I agree with SMOC. It's interesting that Boeing's board just approved sale of the 777X last week. This while the -8I model sits on display up on the Peak. There was also a big -8I advertisement on a billboard just outside CX city not too long ago. Boeing is definitely courting CX hard right now. Purchase or lease of -8Is would definitely allow CX to accelerate retirement of the 400s before big numbers of A350s start showing up later in the decade. This is something CX is clearly keen on doing. Yet, there are still around 18 77Ws to be delivered. CX can simply replace the 400s with those if they have no intentions to grow.
