Those 321s might have something to do with the restructuring of the 330 orders. Majali said they had reached a deal with the manufacturers but he never made the details public due to the fact that it came in the middle of all the troubles
From what I have been told, this deal was done almost a year ago, way before the troubles began. From the number of the orders, it would seem that it was 2 narrow-bodies (A320 and A321) for every 1 A330 ordered.
I heard that the CCO has resigned as well... the brit guy.
From what I hear:
1) He was South African
2) In a way he was booted out (and he deserved it).
