Don`t quite understand why you guys keep referring back to AA. Have they procured the agreed 6,000 units yet? If not, it seems they are bound to an ``active`` agreement (acquired via APS). Though I`m sure they could buy their way out of it, why would they if they are happy with the digE? Unhappy with the digE? Then why would they opt for a similar alternative? BUT, if there was a service agreement coupled with that old purchase agreement, and Wencor was not fulfilling, there may be an easy way out and reason to go with a simto alternative.

Still seems like a bit of a stretch.... And if AA has purchased the 6,000 digEs already, why would they consider jumping ships and being stuck with the inventory, or have to deal with more service providers, etc.? Do they need more than 6,000 units?

Again, nice thought, but it sure has a lot of hair on it.

How much hair on Delta, SouthWest, etc., or airlines for which RR is providing logistics support?

But I KNOW nuttin`!
