The orders were placed when everyone predicted the big 4 would cave on scope. They did not and now the orders are in limbo. It costs virtually nothing to place a aircraft order. 10,000 dollars will get you a 777 order. There is little risk in placing orders.
If TSA accepts delivery of a MRJ-90 that is when they will be in violation of their contracts with the majors.
