I know its not as simple as it may seem. But surely the timing of many carriers placing orders for a certain type has an effect on subsequent orders from another carrier, no?

I’m with you on this one. So many people act like they’ve got inside info on this. I freely admit I have none, but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I’m sure Delta can get better slots for a price, but you cant just pretend that supply and demand has zero effect cause we’re special. And demand has increased a ton since Delta first announced interest last year.

AF/KLM just signed up for 50. A little shuffling or presure if 50+ more were on the line would change the calculus. Those are place holders for the greater Delta controlled empire.

So you're telling me DELTA would make AF/KL wait for their jets so that we can take delivery of our own instead of putting our pax on theirs?
