And I understand that the Saudi A/C are somewhat of a hybrid, and may not be a good fit for DAL. At any rate, I stand by what I was told, and what I shared. But it's hard to understand where those 40 airframes mentioned are going to come from. Perhaps I should "lurk" more, and "post" less.

I know the company wants more than 40 so I guess we'll see. You'd think that china eastern and hello would sell us the few others they have also since they now only have a couple left after we purchased the others. Unless of course there was stuff wrong with them causing us not to want them. Who knows. They're pretty dead set on getting as many as possible so I say more power to em!
