He did. He reported the 150 figure and listed 100 existing orders https://archive.ph/5DyY4

Last time they bought 30 planes they needed to make a Major Transaction announcement

I still haven't seen this purchase's announcement yet https://news.cathaypacific.com/ . If it is just additional 30, I have a feeling we won't see the announcement til 9:29:59 tomorrow.
