The first Japan Airlines (JAL) Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner rolled out of Boeing’s paint hangar in Everett, Wash., Tuesday night. The aircraft will be used for JAL’s new Tokyo Narita-Boston route and will be delivered early next year.
According to Boeing, the airplane's livery features the iconic new brand mark on its tail.

you might want to change your title. I misread it as rules out. as in the plane cant make the distance. I think you want to say rolls out. rools is not a word.

I believe the JL 787 will not have first class. But it would great if it does.
