Hi
I ordered 4 A332-s in MT6 around the beginning of 2004. Because all production slots during 2004-2006 were full my orders were placed to 2007.
Now I see that there are several production slots empty during 2005 & 2006, but still my first A332 arrives in March of 2007 (I do not have any other Airbus orders ATM).
Shouldn't my orders move up to those free slots? If I would not have any A330/340 orders right now and I'd made a new order then I'd probably get my A332-s in 2005, right? So why I'm being penalized for ordering my planes at "wrong" time? Order earlier receive later, order later receive earlier?

It is not a deliberate penalty. It is a feature that AWS lacks, which is to look for gaps between or prior to your current orders when placing orders.
You can go to the Feature request forum and:
1. write a feature request asking for this feature
1. search a feature request forum to see if there is a request for this already
2. if there is, you can put a +1 to it
3. if there is not, write a feature request asking for this feature
Not worth writing / putting time into it, as the aircraft ordering system will not receive any major changes in the foreseeable future.
The system will always if possible leave some gaps in the lines for orders that are more than 6 months away. It will eventually pack them closer together to avoid gaps when the delivery gets closer.

I know, I just wanted to let Boot know how to go about something like this. - by searching Feature Request (or Bug) forums, where he would find your answer.
Thanks for answers.
Too bad that you think it's not worth fixing/improving :(
