Interesting too that we 'passed' on an option recently. Yet a few days later in response to the S&P article the ITN email brief mentioned specifically that we have 8 787s on order and options on 45 more. We haven't lost an option, it simply slid to the end of the line. There are still an additional 45 787s that can be delivered.
That’s an interesting comment, Keg.
Given that the number of “fixed date” options and the number of “variable date” purchase rights which comprise the 45 orders is pretty much in the public domain, it would be interesting if the truth is that a “fixed date” option has merely been converted to a “variable date” purchase right. If true, I would think that would be pretty close to lying to the sharemarket wouldn’t it? Does anyone have a copy of the QF ASX update on the subject?
Edit: I just searched the ASX and there isn’t one. If it’s so insignificant the ASX doesn’t need to know then nothing happened, other than
PR spin to spook pilots. Don’t get spooked fellas.
