Purely my speculation, based on lots of hearsay, rumors, and bits and pieces of news facts:

I think the company believed they were about to win a bid on Air Berlin busses...and then got the rug pulled out from under them when Lufthansa bid more. A large Bus deal is probably dead.

Best guess: we will get three ex-Hawaiian 767-300s. Hopefully in-place for next summer. Not a done-deal, but getting close.

757-300 rumor: Thomas Cook jets; never a strong case, but I’m told we had mechs/pilots look at them. Crickets....likely dead.

New 767s: never thought I’d say this, but not impossible. Back-burner; likely dependent on whether other used 767s can be sourced, and other fleet acquisitions.
