Um..
Why is this news?
On 12 July 2022 SK told an audience at TK that they were looking at a WB order of up to 100 aircraft by the end of the year. It's been reported before.. absolutely NOTHING new here.
If this is just our "PR" team using the medial to posture for a better deal, so be it.
We now live in a would where (most) journalist don't really do any research and one big new outlet will literally copy a story from another news outlet.. and make it seem like their own!
We probably (hopefully) order a major WB order by the end of the year. We can all "hope" for something we're on, or we like (Triples.. 78's or the 350).
BUT
Until they show up, at the Gate.. painted in OUR Colors and flown by OUR pilots.. eh.
More important is that we get a kick ass Contract 23 that makes flying these new (and somewhat Replacement) Aircraft worthwhile for our current pilots.
Till then..
