Plastic airplanes belong on desks and hanging from ceilings, not carrying hundreds of people with structures as important as pressurized fuselages with no historical track record. Aluminum and rivets, with all their known drawbacks, have decades of successfull history.

Boeing has bet the farm on this thing and without a Obammy bailout may lose.

If someone dosen't know the difference between 'plastic' and carbon fiber composites they should avoid posting on aircraft threads.
