Boeing will never turn a profit on the 787.

Would that be a problem? Seems to me they’d get better fuel economy with a lighter aircraft...

Nice aircraft.

Flew on (two of) them, on a European trip, several years ago.

Their design is supposed to help with NOT having jet lag.

No big deal...China’s “Great Leap Forward” CCP 01 will rule the skies in 10 years.

Technology is great but 'The Unbound Prometheus' assumes there is an unbound amount of talent to develop and maintain it all.

As the decimal points get more critical, demand increases for real talent who can foresee, identify, and resolve potential issues before they become major problems.

I've flown every widebody ever made...except for the 787. I much prefer Boeing.

Their design is supposed to help with NOT having jet lag.

I believe the main difference is 25% higher cabin pressure allowed by the stronger carbon fiber fuselage. It’s comparable to being at 6000ft instead of the standard 8000ft. Or so I’ve read.

Other factors include higher humidity (or less dry air rather), LED mood lighting and larger windows than any other airplane. Also the cabin air comes from dedicated compressors and not bleed air from the engines.

That is a very beautiful airplane. For me it sort of evokes the old Lockheed
Constellation, another handsome plane:

I seem to remember a big issue with pins relating to horizontal stabilizer a year or so ago. Maybe someone else remembers.

Boeing is the gang that can’t shoot straight the last 10 years. The 777-8...aka the A350 killer is a dud. The Airbus 220 Neo is a great airplane as is the A350. Boeing’s big problem was they went elephant hunting and sucked up to the UAE carriers and designed airplanes around their needs in the early 2000’s. The 787 Dreamliner is proving to be this year’s 737 Max. Beset by issues, delayed deliveries. Airbus right now is like the Japanese cars in the 1980’s they just took over as the lumbering clumsy giants called GM\Ford\Chrysler sat by and got out flanked. Boeing really needs a clean sheet design for a widebody. The new jumbo is the future. Point to point leave to the 737 and Southwest.

"...fitting on the horizontal stabilizer...isn’t related to flight safety"

Whew, who needs a reliable horizontal stabilizer, anyway?

I agree and President Trump had the balls to ground them when their own CEO wouldn’t.
