You hear all kinds of stuff. We're going to exercise more -8 options as Boeing gets more desperate to keep that line going. We're getting new 767 pax airplanes and the old ones will be converted to freighters. We're getting 757s. We're getting 777s for any number of carriers. Same with iPads, AQP, trip trades, and so on. Been hearing the same rumors for years. At some point, at least a few of them will come true.
