The whole deal is done through Philly. Philly is the sub-contractor for Boeing. Philly is making all the aircraft. Philly had already reserved the slots on the production line well ahead of any decision so that they would be ready if they needed to be. And let's face it, it's not like O&G is taking up many slots on production lines these days. There is spare capacity.
I would imagine SK had done all the same things in case they won. Making sure there were production slots available so that aircraft were delivered on time and on budget.
No wine in the lunch room in Philly either!
