Quote: Wonder where this information about Spirit posted on APC came from:

"Spirit has ordered 20 A320, 24 A319, and 7 current A319 deliveries for a total of 51 additional aircraft."

This is what I know coming directly from BBB's mouth in my recurrent class: total order of 37 new planes. Someone asked, he said it, and I wrote it down. My friend whose cousin works for Airbus told him that 30 were A320's. 7 were undisclosed types.

Airbus disclosed 30 A319's in 2007, which were converted to A320's in early 2008:

Spirit orders 30 A319s

APC's info seems wrong.

Hope to see those planes before 2011, but with a depression on the horizon, who knows....
Not that i believe this, but ..........

When i was down at Airbus in MIA at the end of last week, a friend of ours from the FAA was there observing a checkrides saying that we would be getting airplanes within the next 6 months.
