Well it says Trans States Holdings. This is some news considering we're nearing end of negotiations before we're able to be released.:eek:

Let the conspiracy theories begin!

I'm going to guess that if the order materializes, its going to go to the alter-ego side of the operation, not TSA...

With our luck probably, but TSA can fly 50+ seaters now. A lot can change from now till delivery. But this order can only help with our negotiations.

Interesting to note that this is a 70-90+ seat airplane. Who could it be used for since UAL limits their flying to 66 on Gojet... why not just go with more CRJ7s?

It looks real Mitsubishi wins about 100 orders for new jet: media - Yahoo! News

This might be a clue as to who might win UA's RFP!:rolleyes: Obviously you're not going to order aircraft unless you have someone to fly them for or going to fly them independantly.

I wouldn't want to fly anything made by Mitsubishi, they don't exactly have a very good track record.
