All those non union jobs and green house gasses! Not to worry! Obama has sicced the Department of Labor legal goons on them to make sure that nothing is ever made in America again, unless by union sanctioned goons working on green projects. My grandchildren will envy coolies.
Los Angeles to New Delhi. I hope they can change the air filters in mid flight,.... Both ways!
By the time they get the 787 into service, it will be a Antique by then.
I am sure they will be ordered by the U.S. based airlines with the absolute maximum amount of small seats available with zero leg room. It will be outfitted complete with the rudest flight staff available, including one free TSA agent available for unwanted public groping, and an air marshal to to increase the illusion of safety while every so often physically assaulting a random passenger for not reacting immediately to irrational orders given by said rude staff.
“The sleek design that uses less aluminum means that a 787 has fewer than 10,000 holes drilled into it during assembly, compared with 1 million holes on a 747, and the number of fasteners on the first barrel section of a 787 has been reduced by 80 percent, Boeing said.”
I’m sure they’ve tested the crap out of this thing butjeeeez that’s a lot of missing fastener.
I was stationed in Spain in the late 60’s and to this day can recall the incredible public interest when PanAm flew the first 747 into Barcelona. Must have been 25k spectators to see the plane land, and later take off.. (PanAm’s flight was 154..JFK to Lisbon, Barcelona, Nice, Rome, then 155 on the return trip....I flew it often)
Sooo,
When do ya think Chicago-based Boeing Co. will come to their senses and move to Florida, Tenn, or Texas???
Or some other LOW tax place?
I don’t even like ferris wheels...you guys can have these things.
BTTT
Gosh, another flying cattle car.
My favorite parts are my knees in my chest, the sweaty fat guy next to me, & the smelly dreadlocks 10 inches from my nose. The prostate exam at the gate makes it all worth it.
