Well, it would certainly follow the current trend. UAL originally ordered 50 737-900ER's to replace the LUAL 757's being retired. We ended up taking delivery of around 65. No announcement made about exercising those extra options. Then we discover that there are 12 737's being delivered this year - a mix of 900ER's and 800's, that were not announced anywhere that I could see. It seems that recent airplane options/orders are being held quite closely to the vest.
