You reckon they won't change their mind after the flap that developed with the customer this week. It will be interesting to see if they go ahead with the plan or hold up the paint in case it winds up going to somebody else.

It headed to Texas yesterday so I expect they are going ahead: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE237/history/20120530/1230Z/KCHS/KFTW

Yeah, I knew it had already left but it seems like that Air India flap came out later, or else just reported later. I would think they(Boeing) would know where they were at with the customer before they ever headed for the paint shop.
