"Shocking that the 73 guys would pass a rumor of more 73s."
Kind of reminds me of past rumors:
1. They are going to "glass" the 727 and keep them flying, the glass instruments were said to be sitting in a hangar in ATL.
2. The L-1011 is going to be used for a new Delta cargo operation.
3. The MD-11 is going to be used for a new Delta cargo operation.
4. They are going to put "Boeing NG "glass" into the 757/767, the vendor has already been chosen.
5. They are going to reopen DFW as a hub and base the A220 and 73N as a Latin America hub.
I'm sure there are more...but "UNTIL it is a REAL thing, it ain't a thing at all".
