That may answer a lot of questions as to all the hiring that's going on. He also said there are serious talks about exercising options on the additional 36 CR9s that are on the table.

Not saying that I don't believe you, but there must be a reason that there hasn't been a press release or at the very least any mention on the company website. DL is famous for pulling the rug out from under one's feet. Lets just see how it all plays out.
