I wouldn't be surprised to see it make a pitstop at SDF as well. Airbus is desperate for some good news.

It better do a touch and go cause it ain't gonna fit on the existing taxiways.

True, I don't really think it would fly to SDF, but it would be cool. They've planned those two visits out thoroughly.

All these managers can do is parrot what their masters tell them. If we cancel, the next time you run into that guy he'll be telling you what a p.o.s. the 380 was.

It's almost the end of the weekend and no announcement. Did they forget or is your source rooting for Dale Jarrett at Daytona?

I heard the 380 is no more for us. But you know how rumors go.

I heard it was an AN-124 announcement at first but then Boeing countered with a C-17. They claimed the C-17 would have the same type rating as our MD-11

I'll bet a round at sticky fingers that we have 777's on the books by the end of the month, its hot off the press in CRK.
