I think of it this way, if i put myself in managements shoes I would never let anything good for the pilots go to "waste".
If virgin Atlantic promised us free a346s, ftb dream, plus airbus said free a319neos, ftb dream, that would just be great for the pilots. They'd be so happy. Evil management me would tell everyone, wait til 2020.
And then I'd have to find something to squeeze the pilots on for c2019 using these aircraft as the carrot. Why waste the opportunity? See if sjs works... it's worth a shot.
