Depends on what you mean as significant. BA projects 550 this year, and 620 next year. If I carry forward 600 in year three and 600 in year four, that's a total of 2370 over four years. A reduction of 150 planes across the four years is roughly 6%. Yes, a measurable amount but not frightening given some of the other bad news out there. Given, my estimates for years three and four are my estimates but I think we would not see more than an 8% - 10% reduction in planes MAX. JMHO, Tony D.

Well, Asian crisis will reduce airplane deliveries by 150 over the next four years; however, expects to meet or beat margin targets in the next two years, while it plans to reduce its work force by 28,000 jobs in the next 18 months..... Margin targets will be met or beaten over next two years..... Work force reduction will hopefully offset the rest of the Asian damage on deliveries. IMO, it shows BA is addressing the Asian problem while others are wallowing in Asian loses....... Steve
