If that's all we got we got punk'd.

The 787 delays are a huge deal. 18 super dooper pooper premium widebodies like that, with their alleged savings add up to big penalties very fast. Then we give them a decade of relief for their order books so they can stop paying penalties to other airlines that much faster. I suppose we did that for free too then.
I'm sure we got paid big time, one way or another, for the 787 debacle and if we didn't, someone's not minding the store like they should be.
