  Not topping up the order book is a serious problem.

    Is it? I thought they had a huge backlog already. Unless they are so mismanaged that they can't afford to build the planes they already agreed to deliver, it sounds like they have plenty of time before it becomes a problem.

      Can be deceptive: With low delivery rates as there are now, the backlog for 737s is more than 25 years. But nobody at the end of that list is going to take delivery 20 years from now, or maybe even 10. See also 1 million pre-orders for Cybertruck. This is also why being on track to make 50+ 737s per month is the incentive that dominates, not quality.

  Deliveries != sales. These are locked in contractually for years in advance.

    The CNN article is talking about deliveries as well. Both Reuters and CNN are reporting about the same press release.
