As I understand it testing of the airframes has told them how many cycles they have in them. THAT with a little buffer added is the service life of the plane.

So what you’re telling me is that if I buy one of these fancy new composite airframes, I’m literally getting a disposable product with a finite/defined max life.

No more 1950s airframe with 33,000+ TT on it.
