“Our view that, that could be within a year.”

In context

“a derivative, yes, but a new airplane. And nine months from now, you'll have an engineered solution to it, to this issue. And why is that the right call? And in my view, it was a sound, principled position to take. I went home for the weekend. I talked to our customer, and you know who that is, unbelievably constructive, and this is the right thing to do for aviation. So, that is really how it happened, and it was that simple. But the passion and the argument that Senator Duckworth presented to me, I'm so glad I heard. Anyway, that's what happened. The 7 will have to move until we get that engineered fix in place. And then I'll let Brian sort of quantify the, okay, now what. Brian West: Yes, and on the 7, the work at hand, we will design engineering solution. We're applying the resources. Our view that, that could be within a year. But on the 7, remember, while it's a very, very important customer, the number of deliveries you're talking about is relatively small. As I mentioned, we've got 35 of -7 and -10 in inventory at the end of the quarter. There are a handful of 10s. They're mostly 7. So, we'll sort that out as the process works in that airplane for the FAA gets certified. On your question on the -10, I prefer not to get into what if. It is a great airplane. Customers love it, and there's great demand for it, and it will get certified at some point when the FAA decides. Sheila Kahyaoglu: Okay. Thank you. Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Myles Walton from Wolfe Research. Please go ahead. Myles Walton: Thanks. Brian, you alluded to 2024 being another -- I think the words were steady year of free ca”
