The supply chain in China is completely jacked up right now.

for a while they couldn’t find enough truck drivers to moves goods as none of them wanted to go out.

the ones who did raised their prices significantly.

the overall supply chain disruption is huge. I have vendors who are back at work with 70% of their people but their suppliers are not so they can’t do anything.

itll be 12-18 months before we have this disruption completely behind us.

because of this I’d imagine a 777-300 configured for passenger load couldn’t hold enough product to be competitive due to the massive underutilization of the cargo planes
