I agree, but it doesn't seem like those 787s are being delivered anytime soon. And, not to be a stickler, but I believe they're actually 747-8s and not -800s. Either way, any news on them? Last I heard, there was low demand for the passenger model, and Boeing was considering canceling the whole project, but that was months ago, and I haven't heard anything since. I'd love for those to replace the 744s!
I've never heard of an interline agreement between LY and UA. How did it make sense, considering they already had existing agreements with AA and DL! I've never seen the ability to book an LY segment from UA...
