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.
Boeing to “offload” 788’s? Do you think they have some secret hangar with 30 of them tucked away? Why would Boeing offer a deal on undesirable 788’s when the same production slot can be used to build a 789 or 78X?
