Seriously? You're saying you're going to switch carriers because of THIS?

1. The reports indicate DL wants to convert SOME 787 orders, not all.

2. The 787 delays could significantly hinder the type of network growth DL is hoping to attain.

3. The 772 burns fuel, I would imagine, much more efficiently than the 744.

4. The 772 is a wonderful and reliable airplane, passengers generally like it, and the LR has performed very well for DL.
