"since Boeing failed to deliver the 787 with ETOPS 330 as originally intended."

So how come the 777 flew the route from the west coast and is still doing so today? Where's that hole or is it Boeing's failure?

Again I believe the 787 will work itself out through use, kind of like UAL's crack revenue management algorithms. Of course rather than improve the revenue side up to the industry standard Jeff is proposing almost a billion dollars in cuts.

Could someone please tell us where he expects to get that kind of money from? One thing which is proven over and over again is outsourcing does not necessarily cut costs. What is does is reduce financial risk by moving the investment dollars to another entity.

Too much posting for one week.
Happy Thanksgiving!
