FtB;
I just listened to it. My comment was it could be that they have an aircraft that is not "new" like the 717 or they could already have an order finalized, and therefore it would not be "new," just newly announced. I was just playing devil's advocate.
It is more a play on words.
You know what I think. If they get anything in the near term, it will be the 717. If not we will probably deal with what we have until the C-series flies. Mid term for DAL as your quote hints to is two years.

Yeah I think you're spot on with the 717 and plan B of waiting to see the C Series in action.
MPG is not how one measures the perfect car. It's the package and to me the 717 seems like a great package.

The bottom line is like where you are and be willing to accept one or two seats lower for at least another two years.
What stinks is without the fNWA monthly bids, there are going to be a lot of people stuck where they are for a long time.

Off subject...
A guy sits in front of TV all day farting like there's no tomorrow. And it's bad enough that the dog would gag and the wife never went in there.
The wife, understandably angry from the flatulence problem as well as the general rudeness over the years, says: "one day you are gonna fart your guts out." He just laughs at her, "It's healthy!"
The next Sunday, as the wife is preparing Turkey for sunday lunch her husband falls asleep. The wife spies an opportunity to get him back so she takes the innards of the turkey walks over to her sleeping husband and gently packs the innards in his shorts. She then went back to cooking the turkey. A little later on she can hear the "barking spider" going at it. She laughs. She can't wait to hear him scream... but she doesn't hear him scream?
A few minutes later he walks into the kitchen.
"What happened?" asked his wife.
"Well," the man said, "you were right. I farted my guts out."
"What did you do?" she said laughing out loud.
"Well, it wasn't easy but I got it all back in there."

I'm throwing chum in the water to see how long it takes to catch an 80ktsclamp.
But I think he already started A320 training as you can see here, he is excited. Especially to have that side control stick thing going.

Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last.
-Winston Churchill

FTB and ACL,
One can't just go to the airplane store and come home with a truck load of jets. Nothing happens quicker than 18 to 24 months (hence why they placed the orders a month ago for 2013 deliveries). Engines, avionics, landing gear, etc ... have to be ordered and paid for (by somebody) before they get put on an airframe.
Now the one thing that might change the situation is Republic. Things are looking increasingly ugly over there. We need to watch the next several quarters, especially if a downturn tanks what is left of their Frontier and MidWest experiments.
Might be that Republic's airplanes get dropped and if so, I really question as to whether this French Canadian Concorde is really going to happen.
