BA's deal on the A380 was almost a case of 'buy one and get one free'.
1. What does this have to do with the Boeing 787 delay?
2. Do you have any source to back this up?
I hope it is not just another cheap shot at Airbus.
On the delay : I wonder what happened during the last few weeks that caused an additional delay. Reading Carsons comments I sense a little "blame game". He says there are problems on the floor but points at outside factors multiple times.
On the other hand following the press / analists, it seems they are not listening to Boeing anymore but reading Flightblogger, James Wallace, WSJ and maybe forums like these to get a clue on what is really happening..
