Don't you all know by now that in the Middle East every one has to have the tallest building, the biggest mall, the best island built, a Ferarri, latest mobile phone, and now it seems like they all want the biggest airline, most modern fleet and most important.......... BE THE FIRST TO ORDER..............................
this list could go on forever but "he who is in the news the most for building or getting bigger or better" is the one who wins.
A long long time ago a captain told me that in the airline buisness, "you will only know you are getting new airplanes and the promises of promotion to those new airplanes when the gear handle is in your hand and you are saying "gear up."
Until that time it can all be a hoax or the airline may "CHANGE THEIR MIND, (wink wink ) on the orders."
I do think it is different in the middle east with these very deep pockets of money they have, BUT """YOU NEVER KNOW"""
