Second, a lot of those orders are not firm orders. I think when the time comes a Delta comes to the table with firm orders the slots will open. Remember the boys in Seattle owe us. Also do not under estimate Anderson and his ability to put Airbus against Boeing.

I don't care who we order airplanes from, whether it is A, B, or C, it will be flown by mainline pilots.
That brings up a good question, are order slots the same as list prices as in neither is accurate?

Except I think in the corporate world they are accurate such that people desperate for a G550 had to buy a used jet for a premium over the new prices or wait years. They should've waited years cuz in 08 and 09 the prices went from $60M to $30m range.
