Aviation News / 777X Surgery: Boeing Faces Cos...

Reworking 30 planes sounds like a huge and expensive task that will take years to complete making these 30 plane even older. Maybe some airline will want a 10 year old or older new plane but at a discount.
In the end, it might end up being cheaper to salvage the good components and scrap the air frames and what ever else that can't be reused.

Maybe Boeing did the math and reworking the 30 aircraft is worth the time and money.

The Legal Way: White House Now Weighing The Defense Production Act To Save Spirit Airlines.

This just might be the way they takeover-save this airline. A decision for the courts to make I think.

The planes could be used for cargo, moving troops and deportation flights. Major troop movements have used charters in the past as have many deportation flights.

Maybe Trump just wants to own an airline?
