Ladusvala, when the operator concerned orders another 27 aircraft, anyone who's likely to be buying similar aircraft will, without a shadow of a doubt, recognise that this is not "compensation" - just a reasonable discount in order to secure the new deal. So, while I'm sure Bombardier would rather have done without any of the hassle following the SAS grounding, they'll be very pleased to have picked up an order for 27 aircraft safe in the knowledge that anyone in the business will recongise that the "compensation" description is just agreed PR flannel for use by SAS.
