Is that a bit bullish on AC's part?
I don't think 2024 is the relevant point of comparison. They got rid of the rouge 763s during COVID and retired a number of other things more quickly than anticipated. They're still behind the eight ball from all that. Take a look back to where things were in 2019, not 2024.
