No decision has been made and it looks like there will be a consolidation of the fleet rather than a new order. This is why the 340's are being re-furbished. NG's are a very long shot since the cost of retraining pilots/cabin crew/engineers and replacing simulators is prohibitive. They are not going to build a new training center with airbus/76 sims now, only to take them out again next year!I would have thought that was obvious. Also JH has made it clear GF will not grow by any more than another 10 aircraft so the figure of 19 does not make sense.
