No doubt MOL is trying to screw Boeing down on price further hence why there is so much noise about the strike and how it is "supposedly" impacting on his new bases. I would hazard an educated guess and say that the economics of the new bases aren't stacking up so delaying them and potentially screwing a better deal from the operators could be on the cards as well. Either way he isn't short of aircraft hence his ability to miracle aircraft out of thin air to "rescue" the XL punters.
