Alan is not going to announce a new type and then vacate with his parachute.
If there is a new type announcement Alan is going nowhere.
No incoming CEO/chairman of Gail's calibre would allow the incumbent to sign up to these spending commitments months before their departure. You would hope no board would commit to aircraft purchases knowing their time was up. Sadly, LC and AJ might see this as another look at me moment.
I can't see Alan leaving and who's going to push him. So let's just hope for a new type announcement.
