The fat lady is very loud

Looking at the details is interesting...
-Firm order for 130 A320s + 130 A320NEOs.
-Not-quite-firm-yet order for 97 737NGs (100 = 3 previous options already exercised + 97 announced for this order).
-Promise to be the first to look at 100 737NG New Evolution (that's what the press releases call it) whenever there's something to look at.
-100 options for Boeing.
-365 options for Airbus.

That is one loud fat lady.
