EC surely realise that when they give a delivery date, other work is scheduled around this - the knock on effect can then be managed etc etc. This affects the engineering branch aswell as the flying branch blah blah.........
So, why give a delivery date if it is not valid - you only **** off your customers more.
It would be a nice gesture if extra 'manual' effort was made by the suppliers, rather than blaming this ****ing computer system.
Oh, and yet another delivery date slips by..................
