Just got back from CQ and the "Pub" event in ATL. Heard 2 different but similar RFP rumors from Instructors/DALPA guys:
-25 350's and 25 787 announced between Tgiving and christmas
-Combo of 330, 350 and 787-900, to be announced before Thanksgiving.
Also heard a fleeting rumor of used 777's (really cheap)
Like both the rumors especially the Boeing part.
