Indeed :(

If you ever want to see what's going on at Paine Field, there's a blogger that posts photos here. Front and center today is a new AA 787.

I posted this in the inaugural flight thread but I can repost it here for you.

I was in Charleston yesterday visiting some family and I noticed on my arrival into CHS 5 new 787's on the tarmac outside the Boeing facility. (UA,AC,AA,HU,AI) I had my brother drive me around the plant so I could take some pictures. (yes, Boeing security chased me down and requested I delete all my photos, obviously I did not comply)

On our way from lunch I look up from the car and lo and behold, there's the AA 787 coming back from it's test flight (pic 4).

I hope you enjoy the pics, like I said I had to work fast due to security so I apologize for the quality and or angles/lighting.

I don't believe this is correct. It is true that Airlines from Cat 2 countries can't add frequencies to the US, however, US airlines can still add flights/start new services to Cat 2 countries.

The 1'st AA 788 flew DFW-STL and is now on it's way to PHX. For the past week it has been doing only Texas flights, today is the first I have seen it go out of state.

American Airlines #9766 (B788) has just filed a flight plan. It is scheduled to depart from Dallas/Fort Worth Intl (KDFW) at 14:00 CST Monday heading for Lambert-St Louis Intl (KSTL) for an estimated arrival at 15:25 CST.

First time American has flown STL-PHX in over a decade. Shame it isn't for real :(

Apparently the 787 training program is bringing out the nosey's:

Arrival at DFW TODAY? Welcome to chaos, new airplane.

I'm glad that flight didn't get cancelled ��

FYI, JonNYC has never claimed that he works for AA. But those of us who have been around the AA forum for a long time know that his information is generally top-quality. That's not to say that it's never wrong, but the overwhelming majority of his information is solid and has helped a lot of us here.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming ...
