By properly you mean not 10-across I hope!

It looks like the newest ones are ~12/13 years old so practically toddlers as far as LY goes.

And the 787 would enable a better fuel efficiency.
Costlier to purchase new aircraft that's for sure.

Indeed, although that's just a couple of them. The others are around 18-19 years old.
