Possible Plane Order

You’re correct that there won’t be any huge fire sale because of the 737 issues. The only reason Spirit may get a deal on 737’s is that Boeing wants a slice of the US ulcc market. Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant are all Airbus.

Pist..... It's AIRBUS! It's like telling a girl you want to break up and she freaks out unexpectedly. Hummm... It makes you consider what you can get away with?? Spirit tried the "fake break up" to get the best deal. We're getting more Airbuses! Or the break up is for real! LOL :D

Who wants to take bets on an aircraft order in Paris?

I'll take underwhelmed for 1000 Alex.

An order would be great but I'm not counting on it since they usually blow their timelines, this one was anticipated last year. Wifi was to be easily installed fleet wide by this summer too. Aircraft livery completed a long time ago, etc. I'll be wearing my black and yellow next week though for that big announcement. I hope it happens and I hope it's Airbus with a 3 at the front.

I'll put my bet on 102 A3xx's.

I base this guess on absolutely nothing and I pulled it straight out of my rear end.

3 airplanes from a Spanish carrier, 2 old returned leases from an Italian carrier and 5 more from the Chinese.

All deals made with reps from other carriers they had dinner with at the Paris airshow.
