FtB;
I just listened to it. My comment was it could be that they have an aircraft that is not "new" like the 717 or they could already have an order finalized, and therefore it would not be "new," just newly announced. I was just playing devil's advocate.

It is more a play on words.

You know what I think. If they get anything in the near term, it will be the 717. If not we will probably deal with what we have until the C-series flies. Mid term for DAL as your quote hints to is two years.
