I am still bitter that they cancelled the 787 orders and went with the A350....

Richard [Anderson] was pretty bitter about it too. I heard him say that he didn't want to sue Boeing, but he would do it if it came to that. NWA was going to be the US launch customer and had counted on the airplane. THe delays were beyond reason with NWA/ then DAL/ suffering significant financial impact. So, there is a reason DAL got a bazillion 737-900s at a reportedly "very good price".
I just saw this blog today: https://leehamnews.com/2017/07/20/boeing-787-payback-gap-widens/
