Anybody think this is going to get interesting?
Qantas cancels jet orders as it posts first loss

Looks like Qantas is getting some money back from Boeing for the delivery delays. I'm thinking Boeing has probably started building these already then.

Wondering if BA will have a problem plugging these into the delivery pipeline somewhere. I'm guessing they are so behind on orders that it won't be an issue, but it could provide a nice discount for any carrier willing to pick up these orders on a short timeline.

Anyone think we might make a play for them? I don't see it happening, just curious.
