I expect that problems will pop up for a while, and fixes will be addressed.
I'm still baffled by the costs of this first series of jets though.

Might be some up front costs that are basically fixed regardless of how many aircraft are delivered. Those may not repeat on subsequent orders bringing the average cost down over time?
