All she could talk about was the windows. She said the windows are going to be a game changer. People will fly 787s just to look out the window.

FWIW.
Yeah sometimes its the little things that get people in the door. That's called a competitive advantage. Hell, I go to Costco sometimes just to pick up their jumbo dog for a buck fifty. Never mind the fact I walk out the door with a handful of stuff I decided to stock up on.

It kind of pains me to see Delta pass on the 787 for the next 8 years. Would be nice to be known for cutting edge aircraft. I do know Richard is skittish on new airplanes and there are some good reasons for that. I just hope we don't lose an opportunity to rope more pax by branding ourselves as the airline with old planes not to mention the airline burning the most liquid gold.
