So they told you they're getting airbuses? Slots open up from where? Everything I've read has indicated that delivery slots are taken through sometime in 2023. Maybe they're going to convert the 380 production line to 320s or work some other magic?

Case and point; Spirit would have not been taking their sweet time on an order if Airbus was “first come, first serve”. When they are ready for my Airbus’ (Airbi?) they will have them.

Looks like the Embraer E2 is no longer in contention for a 100+ airframe order. That sucks for people who love the ram horns... 
More Airbuses, the MAX (I am sure pricing would be favorable) and the A220 are the remaining choices. Decision to be made in next few months with potential deliveries beginning in 2022. I was hoping for a Paris Air Show announcement later this month but that seems unlikely. See article below:

100+ new airframes means a lot of growth and pilot movement. That is great news!

7.3 years of orders. Want to take a guess what airframe makes up 80% of those 5900 planes, the 737 NG/Max makes up the 80%. They are not in any need to give this plane away and the public has pretty much moved on to trade wars, 2020 election, and the new season of Below Deck on Bravo.
