NEW sales number

recieved notice today that sales have hit 594

and are expected shortly to hit 600…

I signed my contract in March and have contract #619. Can anyone explain why the contract number is so high, if, 2 months later, sales are only at 594?

Because a number of people who signed contracts over the past few years have dropped out. So the contract numbers represent the number of contracts signed, while the sales figures represent the number of contracts still in effect - I presume this is the sum of planes delivered and planes on order.
