Prove that. That is the crux of many a discussion on here. I have NEVER seen anything that says that we make fleeting decisions. I will buy you a steak dinner if you can show me where a Delta pilot ever made any deal with either Boeing or Airbus... We have never even had input as to what airplanes the company will buy. Your 717 reference is a fail because you know exactly what I am talking about, and that doesn't even come close to it.
