This seems like a 'rolling delay' to buy some time...get plan B figured out. Typically on the eve of a new aircraft roll out, there is a lot of information about routes, bases, delivery schedules, etc. Practically nothing so far on that. Doesn't sound like confidence is very high about EIS.

I'm concerned for the company that we'd go ahead with this plane with so much still hanging in the balance.
I mean I'm sure we could seamlessly absorb the 220% hit by taking it out of the money burning buybacks, but they probably will not do that under any circumstance, even if it harms the company to continue them.
At this point, I'd cancel the C (along with a same day announcement by Canada and UK to cancel all BA civil and defense deals) and place an Airbus order (at VERY special terms, which I'm sure they'll be happy to do). Then I'd comment about how BA is preventing greener technology from saving the planet. Then end the press release about how grateful BA should be because we are such a large and important customer of theirs and we look forward to a long relationship with them, as we send Top Men to Toulouse to see how they can further help us with our fleet complexity problem and carbon footprint that we were so responsibly trying to reduce.

I was thinking this as well. However, it also occurred to me that if the company had a view that amortized the 220% hit over a period of time during which they recapitalized a large portion of their NB fleet with CSs, would the company be able to quantify the "goodwill" that Bomb and the Canadian government would have toward Delta in the future?
