Perhaps the misunderstanding is the reaction of CS's (and some now former) customers to this announcement of cancelling what was expected to be an imminent release.

I, too, am in the camp of buyers who is not interested in a freighter lacking a working cargo door and lacking cargo load capabilities.

To my (uninformed of the inner workings of CS) perspective, the response with delivery of a "CF" model is a weak response to blowback of a poorly conceived business decision.

CS...based on the responses here on your forum, Reddit and Avsim (and likely others), you've obviously let down many customers on this B767 expansion fiasco.
