This is nowhere near an order. A lot of times an airline will throw a few hundred thousand dollars (or less even) just to generate some press buzz for both companies and be first in line should the plane actually materialize some day.... narrator: but it didn't.
 
They’re a great airline but their corporate communications department is a little silly with misunderstanding the concept of under-promising and over-delivering.

Air Taxis, drones, supersonic aircraft and now, blended wing aircraft.

I will stand-by for incoming barbs.

I'm not sure if pilots will every understand when something is just hype to either generate interest or pump the stock. There is a total failure to understand this where I work. As evidenced by a lot of pilots holding company stock up 40-50% and just ride it back down 50%. Even after round tripping their bags and watching our execs sell millions and millions of dollars worth of stock close to the top, they still believe the underlying story that pumped the stock.
