Regarding deliveries, we just received 3 brand new max in one day.
As for the 787 deliveries they are deferred for the next 10 airframes due to the RR isses. Recruitment to be resumed once the engine problems are fixed.
The financials are stressed at the moment, mostly due to technical writedowns of bank norwegian, the oil price taken a huge dive(write down on the hedge position) and huge costs due to the expansion.
IAG have already put in two offers for the whole company, Carsten Spohr of Lufthansa also expressing interest.
Companies are not take over other companies on face value, but on the PROSPECT of the investment and the possible RETURN on this. Norwegian is here to stay.
