Well there is the A321 rumor on top of the A330 rumor.

I agree with the "hard time believing" the list you mentioned was IT. Right now, with our contract in place and our costs "known" coupled with the debt almost at the magical $10B, something is around the corner soon.

We've heard 777 rumors, 330 rumors, 321neo rumors, GUM rumors, etc. And with the track record of old rumors, like VA coming true, I'll project: My guess, when we hear about a 777 order, buying Hawaiian is immediately following, it fulfills all the other rumors for cheap. IDK anything and rumors are tight right now.

Personally, I just would like some forward progress in widebodies.

I like it! Isn't it funny that major improvement program involves a 25+ year old motor? :)

You'll like this one-

I've got a friend that flies them in the Guard. His facebook status was hilarious the other day. He got alert called out, and 3 airplanes later, they finally got in the air!

Our Pacific and European customers are going to think Delta is modeling after this airline (with all of our DC9s, ERs and MD88s):D Look at this video it is hilarious.
