QR is a very demanding customer and has used every possible shortcoming on the part of manufacturers to extract their pound of flesh. Both A & B have been on the receiving end of this treatment, be it the A320 neo, the initial A350 delays, the B787 dreamburner start, the B789 delays, the B779 non starter etc etc. I'm sure the joys will continue with the 737-10s. The A350 paint story is an example of a customer going too far and the supplier not able to take it anymore. The fact that they are in a sellers market right now probably helped
