There must be more to this no Airbus story than meets the eye. Having a fleet of both aircrafts should easen creating a bidding war between the manufacturers, unless MOL thinks this is going to be difficult to achieve anyway under the rest of his tenure. Could there be something in the taking all the produced but order cancelled ExMax's story. If they placed all the 8's with Buzz and the 9's with Lauda (depending on how many are built of each) and the 10's with Ryanair/Malta, they could still in principle have a single aircraft fleet at each sub-airline (apart from the swapover from previous generation).
