It is a gamble because if this lasts 5 years then few airlines will be in existence.
On the other hand Boeing will be quite happy as they will set off some of the $$$ they owe Ryanair against the purchase price and US Govt as always will be funding the export sale.
A 200 plane order is basically one of their plants just servicing that order for close to 2 years, it won't be like that in practice as over a longer term but Boeing happy to take that order to the bank.
