I agree - I don't think they did their marketing really well and let the cat out the bag too early - or they were too eager. If it was me, I would have had at least the AOC in place before starting to advertise! Why pick that specific start date? just wondering...
The E-jets also gr8 - perfect, in my opinion. Maybe they had/have the funds to cover the capital expenses on them?!?
Still wonder if it's gonna happen though - they've been really quiet lately - no media etc about them.
