@Keevan, may they need to go to India and ride a donkey. They need to ride one for them to know what and who is DONKEY and what it can do.....
The donkey comments are stupid I wish some people would stop being so arrogant and see that americar is broke and comments like that dose not help at all,just goes to show how some people are still thinking.
There is money due when the contracts are signed, money due as progress payments but the big hit comes when they take delivery. They'll probably cut a deal with a leasing company - it'll get done. This could also be a negotiating tool - airline vs. government.
There was a very strong adverse comment made in Indian Parliament about this extravagant order. So no wonder the order may be cancelled. Further in view of scams and kickbacks reports from India in various other deals I have a feeling Air India has thought it wise to withdraw the order.
I'm sure there is a penalty clause in the contract not only FOR either party but against either party should either fail to perform.
Someone will get extra bucks, not to worry.
