Dow was 8281 on Bush's last full day. When BHO took the oath on Jan 20, 2009 it closed down 332 pts to 7949 that day. Went down further to eventual low of 6469 on Mar 9, 2009 for that year.
Oil was $38.74/barrel (today $93.68).
National Avg price for a gal of gas that week: $1.83 (today $3.65)

So wife is a big American Idol fan, or fan when Cowell ran the show. Anyways, the best year in my opinion was when they had Chris Daughtry and Kathrine McPhee. Well, low and behold getting off a flight I JS'd on there is Mr. Daughtry. Super nice guy being very nice to adoring fans in the concourse in ATL. Then it just so happened that we walked down the concourse but of course I say nothing, I'm in uniform and well, I never say anything to celebrities.
But I wish I had asked "Hey, do you mind taking a picture of me so I can show my wife a picture of me taken by Chris Daughtry!"
Nobody would've been amused, except me.
Oh, Kathrine McPhee, yes, here:

QE1 and 2 started late Nov 2008
The US Federal Reserve held between $700–$800 billion of Treasury notes on its balance sheet even before the recession. In late November 2008, the Fed started buying $600 billion Mortgage-backed securities (MBS).[33] By March 2009, it held $1.75 trillion of bank debt, MBS, and Treasury notes, and reached a peak of $2.1 trillion in June 2010. Further purchases were halted since the economy had started to improve. Holdings started falling naturally as debt matured. In fact, holdings were projected to fall to $1.7 trillion by 2012. However, in August 2010 the Fed decided to renew quantitative easing because the economy wasn't growing robustly. Its goal was to keep holdings at the $2.054 trillion level. To maintain that level, the Fed bought $30 billion in 2-10 year Treasury notes a month. In November 2010, the Fed announced it would increase quantitative easing, buying $600 billion of Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter of 2011.[3

Any reason why would keep an order like this secret?
Personally, I've could have seen the discounts, as a result of the 787 delays, compounded into a pretty good deal on some B777 or the next generation B747-8. DAL typically doesn't like being the launch carrier, but seeing as this is the next generation replacement aircraft to an aircraft type currently on property, there could be something to this.
Just not sure as to why they would want to keep it a secret, and as being a public company I figured it would only be a matter of time before it needed to reported.

It would be nice but in reality, I don't think we will hear anything about wide body orders until sometime in mid 2012, right before C2012 openers.
We need a large aircraft at a good price to compete against the Emirates of the world, so it is a possibility.
