Checking the news today it looks like Kenny is correct. G. Dixon has announced a freeze in Jet Star's expansion plans. It's easy enough I guess as the B787 delay is turning out to be a good thing for the airlines, but it might also mean the A321's will be delayed for the (S hemisphere) autumn.

My buddy was told last week by the CP that there would be upgrades for CHC in the new year. He asked about LOA and that was the response he got; 'wait around as you're upgrade is likely coming'. But, as of now he's re-checking with fleet to see if that still stands; I think he wants to try a contract in China so needs the LOA. Anyway, I'll post what he gets from Jet Star fleet.
