And it seems like yesterday the first Dreamliner was delivered to AA. I don't expect the 787-9s to start seeing dedicated routes until at least November as the second and third 787-9 will arrive in October. Your guess is as good as mine as to where they'll start to show up. I'd bet on these aircraft seeing plenty of LAX-Asia flying by this time next year.
