If they actually were unable to get Airbuses, when they wanted them, they would have placed an order already to get them later, they wouldn't just GIVE UP! Think about it! You want Airbuses in 2026, Airbus says you can't have any until 2028, and JB says no thanks?!?

Recognize when you are being manipulated and being subject to the dog and pony show. If the merger happens, you will be better prepared for this company if you learn the management style now.
