Does anyone know how Boeing compensates the carriers for this type of thing, if at all?

Like others have said, it looks like great foresight by Delta to wait this bird out for a bit.

It may be (probably is) in the purchase contract, ie a certain reliability guaranteed.

But in this case it's so bad that Boeing almost has to make them good to soothe ruffled feathers at a critical time in this aircraft's life cycle.
