This will push off the needed replacement of the fleet forever.
Instead we've bought a stop gap measure that will eventually run massively over cost if the Kuwaiti deal is to be believed and the stop gap is to buy planes on the downswing to being obsolete.
If they had announced that they were buying these and opening the procurement and replacement cycle at the start of the year I'd feel a lot better about it.
