Interesting.......just enough "could happens" to make for a good rumor
Crap, may have to put that SEA 330 bid afterall. Hey Denny, is the o'l couch still available

Not to add or subtract to the rumor but USAIR just cancelled all but 2 of their A330 orders. I think they were supposed to get 8 or 10 starting in Feb for 2010. That number is now 2 so there certainly are airframes available.
