Excellent episode about the 787-10 with a lot of information from Brian summers from his interview with M. Galardo and how AC sees this plane fitting into it's existing network. And of course Ostrower's input on the -10is well versed as ususal.

The one disappointing thing I take away from all this is their mention (not wrong) on how geo-politics will probably have a stong influence on AC's next fleet purchase. Those old enough to remeber the Mulroney days may remeber that the last time geopolitics influnced AC's fleet choics, they got stuck with the inferior product (and are still stuck today). It's sad that all this would lead AC to chose the lesser of two choices for their 773 replacements. Now more than ever, it seems that we can't have nice things. Then again, who know what could happen in a few years, when it's time to make the choice.
