Tacking on 6 extra planes to that request for couple hundred million more when that money could be far better used in other ventures, I do have a problem with.
Thats the bottom line to this discussion.
I agree (with the bottom line discusion). The article dies say 4 though not 2. Well buying 2 new planes plus 2 more to replace 2 planes that are on lease right now. The point of view I see is the article also mentions planes that are grounded and costly to maintain. Now obvioulywe do not have the financial numbers but they are only mentionning the cost of the purchase of the new planes and not the saving and maybe money made off the sale of the other planes that are being replaced (if any). I just know that maintaining old planes is expensive.
