Default Airbus rumors

I've heard several people talking about a huge rumor with Airbus. Does anyone know what it is? I've asked several sources and they're under a confidentiality agreement.

A321neos, due in 2018. From a canceled Virgin America order, but I didn't get a number of airframes. That would be nice considering net growth for 2018 was more recently said to be only +3. All rumor until they are delivered.

I've also heard this rumor. Unconfirmed and just hearsay (but isn't that what APC is for?) is 4 A-321 NEOs.

Maybe we're getting some A330's too? That would be a YUGE Airbus rumor other than 4 more A321's. After all, the company agreed to "wide body pay" if they get them.

Best Western London Luton, here we come!

Ours at VX were not ordered from Airbus. They are on 10 yr leases from GECAS. If you get them, it would be a lease transfer from GECAS. We have 2 and the next one is coming with the Giants livery. I thought we were getting all 10, but who knows.

I was in Miami at the Airbus training center (no lie). And the secretary said to me, "Did you hear the HUGE Airbus rumor?" I asked what rumor and she said she wasn't allowed to say. I asked another Airbus guy and he said he wasn't allowed to say.

Applications must be tailing off. Gotta keep the pump primed with rumors of growth.
