As of today, Feb 15, I have not received anything and I may have to concede that the person who posted this original message may be a dishonest trader. I have exchanged safety cards numerous times with other Airliners members before, and never had a bad experience. I still hope that, perhaps, it is ...
Jump to postKeishi,

Hi Keishi,
Have you received the cards yet? I sent them to you on January 2 but I haven't heard from you since. Let me know. Thanks!

Jump to postRegarding the surprise A350 order from South America, I'm gonna bet my $$$ on Aerolineas Argentinas. Don't they still have some A340-600s on the order book? They can cancel them and replace the order (which doesn't seem likely to fulfill anyways) with A350s.
