Aeroskid,
I agree totally: if the growth plans go ahead, what in god's name is WW talking about!!
Of course, it may be a ploy to suggest to Airbus "hey, we could wait for the 7E7"... now give us a deal on 330's that we can't refuse!
Alternatively, I may be driven crazy be trying to think of these conspiracy theories, and EI will lease in necessary capacity for growth! ;-)
