Not so sure this is true. We're almost certainly taking the AF/KLM deferral that was slated for 2015/2016 and that's obviously within 12 months. So allowances were made somewhere and I don't think they will want much of a delay since they're apparently so hot and bothered to get them as replacement aircraft. If its not meant to replace any of this years 78's then we're talking 2017 due to the 78 delivery gap in 2016 and I just don't think that was the plan. But you're right in that the crux of the issue is how many of this years orders can be converted and how quickly.
