OK, on the face of it $7.2m is a very low return on investment for the lease co, but if it ends up going off to the desert and parts-recovered, I suspect the end result won't be the worst ever
7.2 0n 197 in ten years about 0.4% of ROI per year: Does not even cover inflation. And if most of the whales go to Mojave after only 10 years and only a few new ones a ordered, the spare parts will not be of a huge value.

Spin it however you want, the 4-holers are doomed and will never bring back the investment. Maybe for the more ruthless companies like EK and SQ on their initial batch, but lessors and investors learn quick!
Financing for new models will only be possible through the ignorant European taxpayer, no one else in their right mind would put their dollar on them no more.
