Airbus wants - there is no doubt - but do we believe QR will take it without delays ? My personal believe (I do hope not to be right) is: "I do not !" I have no doubt QR will take its A35K, as it takes its A359. Once more - the question is different: but do we believe QR will take it without delays ? |

I believe QR is forced by its financials to streamline its flow of investments. They are taking delivery when they can, though they sometimes contend to save face that they delay delivery out of quality or other issues.
I would bet the first -1000 delivery is a priority, and should be more or less timely. We'll see, as you say sometimes !

For those who had a doubt, at Airbus' press conference this morning, QR was cited as the A35K launch customer.

Consider Mr. Bregier stated that the Quality of the interiors still needs improvement. doe s this absolve QR of their stance? in lay-mans terms, was that QR "i told you so" moment? or we still think their full of crap cause every other operator accepted without fuss.

I don't think so, Bregier was adamant that they fixed everything before delivery. I think the main problem with QR is that AAB likes to go public with problems that other customers settle privately with Airbus. |

I do believe there is more - it takes 4x as long with QR than with any other airline. |

I agree with you, I said many times I believe QR is forced by its financials to streamline its investments, and tries to keep that under wraps. The quiet postponement of A380 deliveries is sufficient clue to this conclusion in my opinion. This however is not exactly the same topic as their public criticism of manufacturers. |
