True.
But they posted vacancies and then didn't award any.

Makes you wonder why they even put the 8 openings on the 747 A in the original A/E??

They obviously KNEW they were going to be parking them...

When do the first of the 10 new A330's show up? I thought the first one comes in Jan. 15? Maybe they are the 747 replacements?
