Then I heard that Emirates' 300s were possibilities but then I read they're leases were extended.
I don't doubt thats where things are headed but I wonder if its still in the immediate planes as was aluded to in the LCP meeting. The LCP I was talking to said they were told that DAL had the rights to "steal" positions on the Boeing line up to a year in advance too, so I guess its possible they, if this happens, could be new but they sure were saying used and soon.
