I thought the same thing. I want it to work out for the C Series, but why is Delta the only major order from the US so far?
This is exactly why I think Delta played a huge role in this. The 350 is just coming online with them, and the C series was basically dealt a death blow. Seems like they probably had a lot of leverage with Airbus, and used it, I would have too. I just hope for the sake of my friends there, that it wasn't shady. Boeing isn't just going to let this go.
If this deal falls apart, Delta is going to lose a lot of money. They've got the training program spun up, guys have already been to school, MX has been trained, everything it seems is in place, except for the airplane being on property.
