Sad thing is that its out of DJ's control. Surely DJ will be getting some form of compensation from Boeing for this.

I doubt it, strikes are normally covered as a no fault clause in the contract.

True although given the magnitude of the impact on DJ (this is the delay of starting a brand new carrier) and the fact that the strike has been brewing for a while, I would have wanted my lawyers to push for something to go in.

I can't argue with you on that, as it is it looks like there will be a fair number of discounted 77? due to the 787 late delivery, so whats a couple more ?
