Was this announced before or after Boeing stock took a hit today?

My favorite airline for the past five years. New planes, decent service. I fly CMH-EWR a lot. The 737 700 & 800 series are nice.

Cool I hope more airlines order it. It looks like a very nice plane. I wonder if anyone aside from China has ordered any airBUSTEDs? lol.

I would just like to say that in terms of quality of service for both their passenger and cargo operations, Continental beats all of the other legacy carriers hands down.

The boys in Chicago/Everett will probably not make their sales targets this year (and their stock will continue to take a hit). Nevertheless, I look forward to flying the 787 (oops, was I not supposed to say that yet?) when it goes into service.

The 7E7 news is great, but I thought the 757 program was ended?

Yeah:

"On Oct. 28, Boeing marked the completion of its 757 commercial airplane program, as thousands of employees, retirees, and guests saluted one of history's most successful passenger airplanes. The 1,050th and final 757, a Shanghai Airlines 757-200, was the centerpiece of a ceremony at the company's Renton, Wash., factory. The 757 is one of only seven large commercial jetliner models that sold more than 1,000 units." ...from http://www.boeing.com/commercial/757family/last757/
