Not even close. How could 200 planes be a bigger order than 460 planes by AA in 2011.
Given those 2 things, I don’t put much weight in the rest of the article.
I see a big order of unwanted Max planes for a good price and 321’s to replace 757. Probably a large percentage of options in the bus.
We will know Tuesday.
There has to be some very near term widebodies in the mix as well. SK has been clear (even pre-COVID) about his goals in a downturn - somehow screwing AA and taking international routes from struggling foreign carriers. IMO that was the purpose behind the LOA so I'm expecting him to show at least some of his cards.
