If they're going to replace the planes LY is getting in 2 months, and the retrofit would take longer, then LY should indeed receive more compensation.
Regardless, if Boeing is looking to "unload" these planes, then a good business decision on the part of LY would be indeed to take compensation: You (Boeing) want something [to unload the planes] and I (LY) want something [money]. So it's like a trade
OK, we all agree Boeing pays for the retro-fit, and that it makes sense only if it takes less then two months. So, if they leave it at it, no need for further compensation, right?
And on a different note, assuming LY does not take MORE planes, would that mean that ahm... Boeing will try to re-sell LY's planes to some other airline? paying them the compensation for another retro-fit?
