As frustrating as it has been to see our company dragging its feet, we should be celebrating the fact that we will be seeing WB growth. I get it is the cool thing on here to be negative. As I’ve stated before I’m merely passing along info. At this point I’m not even sure why I bother.

Come on. Most of the people here regularly are very reasonable people who are not negative and just having a conversation.
No one is discrediting your honor but let’s face it, we’ve been spoon fed way too many rumors that ended up being nothing at this point.

Or...nothing has changed from last year's flight standards "THEY'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT 350-1000s!!" rumor.

if we are going to order AB wide bodies, we have to order RR engines. There is no alternative to that fact.

We've been wondering if your the new SF. Mr. "inside baseball" is reborn. A stopped clock is right twice a day, but wrong EVERY OTHER TIME. Celebrate? really? So do we mourn the things that go wrong, so wrong they must be ignored too? I'm starting a new rumor. Speculative prognostications and boredom are the building blocks of empires.oh and keep this on the DL... the 737 max -10 will be delivered on schedule with the 787-10 being our 767 replacement which will all be revealed at Farnborough 2024 when we announce our merger with Virgin and AF/KLM to become the launch customer for the 797.
