Not from a certified source (I dont even think BBB is a certified rumor source any more) but just heard that 10 A-320's from a South American operator coming online as soon as theyre retrofitted with seats with enough legroom to make a sardene claustraphobic, and Bahamian ads. Wish i had more info, or even if it is true or not. Anyone hear the same?

Yeah but I heard that they were Emirates A380's...

There would be signs out there, like I dunno, a S.A. company losing 10 A320s. Just cause Im bored I'm going to see if any have.

Yeah, I heard the same through a buddy. He got it from a mech. in DTW; same number. Thing is, he said this mechanic was dead-on when we lost planes, so maybe he'll be 2-for-2...

I believe they are the TACA orders.

TACA did recently freeze all hiring, but I can't see any other signs that they could be from there.

This place is like a bathroom wall at Spirit High School. I will believe it when I see it. But I will keep on the positive side.

Latin American airline CEOs say its time to lie low

Think they might need them for the MD-80 retirements.

Is there a press release anywhere about the planes new homes? Hopefully, they are coming to Spirit but I won't believe it until I'm sitting in it at the end of the runway.......and they are in our colors, then maybe.

Default TACA makes sense to me

BBB worked for TACA in the past, maybe he still knows people.

Some Airbus coming from South America? Maybe this would explain why LanChile was in Miramar.
