I heard they talked about A330 to pressure Boeing to get better prices.
A few months back I talked with a KLM instructor who told me there was no future plans to buy Airbus but I well may be wrong.

Are they not expected to also announce orders for a number of A330-200s to replace the 10 MD-11s and 12 767-200ERs?
