Odd thing to do if they had orders they didn’t want and can’t cancel.
That’s more a negotiation technique. Essentially they have now upped the order with newfound associated flexibility to stretch orders into late next decade. Basically they have purchased wriggle room from previous piss poor decision making.
Virgin did the same. Pushed aircraft back to mid to late next decade at the cost of upgrading a lot of -8s to -10.
Basically, Give them more cash and new options open up otherwise your delivery schedule ain’t changing.
