These for CX?

The press release goes on to say; "we have signed letters of intent for long-term lease of both aircraft with industry-leading cargo carriers."
Note the plural. Unless it is deliberately obscure, that would imply that we only get one at most.
Whatever...

Word around the campfire is CX were out-bid at the last minute, so the JAL freighters are not coming.
Rumours abound that all is not well with the crewing at the Air China JV and whilst the first aircraft has left, the next 3 will be retained by CX until at least the -8 arrives.
Anyone for "missed opportunities"?
