That's not a good trend, and there is no plan or current technology to address the situation. Hopefully they'll get it worked out, but nobody really knows what's going to happen there.

kinda casts the scourge of coal and other fossil fuels in a different light.

I suspect that is the case for the near term deliveries however the delay looks a bit longer then 4 months. Originally they were going to have a couple delivered this spring.

I mean they let airplanes land on nuclear reactors. They don't go boom.

I agree, I have spent plenty of time living on a carrier and my tail is rarely itchy. And I attribute that to the anthrax shots. :)

Originally the first A350 was supposed to arrive in the 2nd quarter 2017
2 more in the 3rd, 3 more in the 4Q.
It was 6/9/5/5 through 2020

Now it's 6/5/7/7, assuming we still get 25 jets.

The more time you spend off the boat the more itchy you get, amirite?
