It’s not more delays...the delays announced today were already known. Still planning on 6 this year. Also, you must have been super curious since you couldn’t even use Google to get your answer. AA deferring 5 planned 321NEO deliveries into 2020.

Airbus has been transparent about NEO production delays since October of last year.
The 320 interiors are being delayed to support the capacity needed to make up for delayed 321 deliveries. Makes sense to keep aircraft online a bit longer to avoid cancelling routes.
But yeah...the sky is falling...lemonade...GAS meter zero...blah blah blah...
