its not like the airlines pay cash for these planes
Boeing's share of the development cost for the 787 was ~$20B. According to Forbes, Boeings pre-tax margins are ~6%, so they need to sell a lot more than $125B worth before they recoup their costs and start making money. Put in perspective, $125B isn't a real "big chunk"
