We still have 40-50 airplanes coming so I’m sure it will pick up.

I’m not so sure anymore, everyone assumed they would order more planes after the new contract passed too and that hasn’t happened......

They keep telling investors during their quarterly earnings calls that they are going to order more planes. Unless there is a merger in the works, which I kind of doubt, I think we will see an order soon.

The order has already been placed, and they’re waiting for the right time to make the announcement. Likely when the new CEO takes over. We’re also scrounging for any delivery slots coming open from failed airlines elsewhere.

It’s been what? 9 months since the contract passed with 50 some odd more deliveries due in the next two years and people think we’re standing pat at that? Come’n man.

Agreed. They won't announce a new order as the current CEO has one foot out the door. They wait for the new CEO to announce the order so it sets the stage for him and the company moving forward.

Not saying you’re wrong but where does this rationale come from?

Thats a good point.

Because if the current CEO announces the next massive step for the airline and then steps out the door, it kind of leaves the new CEO standing around with his DK in his hand and doesn't create the image of a new company leader with exciting company expansion. Is this logic that hard to understand? a new leader with goals of more expansion increases interest and stock prices.
