So far, there is no impact on the share price. I wonder why too.
So
far, there is one cancellation (that I know of). However, the back
order is so long that there is no impact at all. The order serves as a
place in the queue and there is no serious obligation. I do not know
about the compensation part.
I believe there is a settlement with the engineers who belong to a union too

Marketing and development always fight against each other, and usually marketing wins - the one who brings in $ always wins.
All
the problems are OK (ask Microsoft on all the Windows bugs and the bugs
over the 'fixes' on the bugs) except safety. BA should have one new
plane for Alpha test and then Beta test and give free life insurance to
all the initial passengers plus a free coupon for future flight :)

The market
does not respond much to BA's problems. I prepare to buy it if it is in
the waste basket, but it is not so far. It is in the upper half of the
yearly range.
* The battery is a easy fix. Just replace it with
the old, reliable lead battery now and wait for advancement in battery
technology. Alternatively, find a reliable way to cool the battery like I
have a fan for my laptop. If it were the electrical system, then it takes longer and more expensive to fix.
* The windshield crack could be a bigger but ignored problem.
When
BA makes so many advancements on a new plane, I figure they will have
unavoidable problems. They should implement new features more
conservatively.
So far it does not change the manufacturing schedule and only give the Air Bus a smile.
