Don't Throw Us In The Briar Patch B'rer Pooh

China just cancelled delivery for about 200 Boeing jets, blaming the tariff war.

Boeing will shortly be letting about 200 other customers in their over six thousand plane back-order their delivery date got moved up. 

When I took the plant tour in Seattle the guide explained how customers paid.

1/3 on order.  1/3 on first flight.  1/3 on delivery.

And pretty much unrefundable.

So Chairman Pooh just paid 2/3 the price of a plane that Boeing will repaint and deliver to someone else.

Boeing will almost definitely be pocketing the money and charging full price to the new owner.
