Where do you place bets on this stuff......
EMB show case the E2 mock up in SYD and QF sends a team.
Cobham get the 190 up and running with at least 3 in their own colour over 3 years for fraggle rock.
AC trade 20 E190s back into BOE for 737Max orders, BOE (Were) shopping them around.
Delta take all the AirTran 717 on lease from BOE in a three way with WN. They will have 88 (or 57%) of all produced and can add as many as they want without scope clause issues.
BOE strikes a deal for the AC E190s and 30 B739's to go to Delta subject to new pilot contract. Pilots knock this back last week. Delta scrap the deals.
BOE looking for homes for 20 mid life trade in (cheap) E190s, Delta want the capacity and can add 717's as much as they want and QF are actively looking for an exit when time is up. (Its not the airframe that's the problem but the engines)
So what's the bet that Cobham will now get a new deal for the crews, how much for the E190.. 20 of them, slightly used in Canada...... in Qlink colours.
As said QF are gun shy of new models since both the A3latey and 7late7 deals, let someone else work out the probs with the C-series.
where do I place my money......
