They also have a union infested LTU environment, just to name one of the problems.

Sounds like they need a taxpayer funded bailout, they should concentrate all efforts on finding something that is 'essential' to the nation, Europe etc.

What you may not have noticed was I actually reached the milestone twice.
The post count reached 10K on Monday night but for some reason it went down to below 10K yesterday. Apparently there was no explanation. I thought our Mod was busy deleting my posts.

The 787 is just a ultra modern 767 with low fuel consumption and neat features and will be used as such by the airlines. Another factor may be that they rather use the new aircraft on routes where there is plenty of capacity available should the aircraft have problems in the startup phase.
