I won't be the one to say, "I told you so." But let me ask you: If Boeing or another airline approached Delta with a good deal on 20 to 30 787s that they need to offload, do you really believe Delta would turn it down?

The biggest hold up right now is getting the program up and running. If you know any ATL 7ER leads, ask them what they have heard or who will be in the initial cadre on the 787, then ask if they have a training date yet.
