Same poster rumored Boeing’s come on property too. Don’t believe anything until we’re boarding one in FLL.

Per the head cheese no order will be announced until 4th quarter or quarter 1 of next year. Bob stated no a/c delivery needed until 2022.

I can only tell what he has said, others have said Ted C has said the same thing.

Our lack of NEO availability was offset by Pratt's picking up the Miami Air tab. El tres diecinueve's came about because they were a good deal on two good airframes. I don't have any reason to believe that we're getting used B6 airframes but we obviously have no issues going to garage sales on Saturday morning. I think the 220 is a phenomenal ship but I wouldn't be surprised by remotored Embraer's showing up either.

A leasing company ordered 80 Neo’s today at Farnborough. Some of these could be coming our way as the leasing company and buyers remained anonymous.

Great news! I hope they come with plenty of shrink wrap and permanent ramp space so they can sit around and not get in the way. I just love how quiet and fuel efficient they are, that NEO really fits in well with our low cost business model. High five!

I’d put my money on Pratt getting the motors figured out or our selecting the other NEO engine option.

I’d put my money on an aircraft/engine combination that has a long established history of safety and reliability especially if the future success of the company I was charged with depended on it. I can’t print the words to describe how happy I am every time I arrive at the gate and it’s an old stinky 319 sitting there and not a NEO.

YES me too!
Plus second jumpseat for my bag... and stranded crew.
Newer is definitely not always better.

Flew the 73 for years, a fine bird.
Flies much better than the bus, no brake temp, real auto-throttle, Vnav, very solid, not as comfy...
