Correct, however, I still don't know if there's a large market for a new 747 right now. They already have the 380 to look at and that's not going well for the 380. The thing is the market is already saturated with 747's, many of them being very new. Those planes are a massive investment and airplanes can't just go willy nilly and upgrade their fleet all the time. Therein lies the problem.
