according to this, AAB will "usher in a historic moment in American aviation" on Dec. 9, 2015 in NYC, which already led to some speculation on the Web. At least it should provide some great entertainment (possibly including some hilarious reaction from Delta's CEO among others).

Perhaps QR will announce new carpets for the A380 fleet.

I would more believe they bought some US company or some stake in it.

It can be anything, whether truly 'historic' remains to be seen.

I would more believe they bought some US company or some stake in it. There's a thought... jetBlue? By announcing a "historic moment in American aviation" they set the bar fairly high. So by just presenting a new U.S. destination served by A350 or A380 aircraft (or something similar), AAB would pretty much embarass himself. I even think that buying into some US company doesn't really qualify as "historic", unless it includes some real innovation. Any chance they agree to some kind of Joint venture with a US Airline to compete in the domestic US market (perhaps even involving some fifth freedom flights using their own aircraft)? I heavily doubt that something like this could happen without having been noticed so far, but one thing I'm absolutely sure about is that whatever announcement AAB will offer, it will be immediately followed by complaints from the big U.S. carriers.

obviously yesterday's announcements were THAT impressive and overwhelming, even Richard Anderson (among others) was completely stunned and is helplessly searching for an appropriate response.

Indeed, to me MSN193 is finished (with or without engines?) and stored either in 31C either in a FL hangar..... until roll out... Any update on the status of MSN193 and MSN197?
