The elephant in the room though is what the resale value of the MAX would be in say, 10 years from now.
A very large part of that almost 6.500 frame backlog belongs to lessors. I am sure Airbus, FR and leasing companies can work a deal where Lauda gets aircraft far sooner than 2025. Also some of the Asian carriers who (according to me at least) have overordered and just might not be able to take so ma...
