Hey, my wife looks just like that, and I look just like him...

You heard the one about the long married couple having sex...and after a good amount of trying, it's just not happening, and the wife says to the husband,
"What's the matter honey, you can't think of anyone else either?"

787
Wonder how many pax that will not be going through ATL or DTW to get to Tokyo.
Sunday marked the first U.S. passenger flight for Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner, with Japan Airlines flying non-stop between Tokyo and Boston. The airline is the second to receive the efficient new composite airliner after fellow Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways. But JAL is the first to fly the Dreamliner to a U.S. city. The flight also marks Boston’s first non-stop service to Asia and the 787′s first transpacific flight.
The 787 is the first airliner built with a composite fuselage. The use of composites, including the sleek wing which flexes upwards during flight, together with efficient new engines and improved design puts the Dreamliner at the forefront of the growing trend towards fuel efficiency in aircraft development. Smaller than Boeing’s 777, the 787 is designed to use its efficiency to open new routes for airlines where the reduced fuel costs help justify pairing together cities that previously haven’t been connected by non-stop flights.
But the route to service for Boeing’s new airplane has not been easy. Manufacturing of the airplane’s various sections took place around the world and led to several setbacks. The airplane began passenger service in Japan last fall, and its first flights to Europe in January were years behind schedule. The problems of producing a new airliner aren’t unique to Boeing. European rival Airbus faced delays with its superjumbo A380, and the company’s new 787 competitor – the composite A350 XWB – has also faced delays as it prepares for its first test flight later this year.
The Tokyo-Boston route is an example of the route Boeing had in mind when it decided to build the 787. Instead of deciding to manufacturer a much larger airplane to compete with the A380, which relies more on a hub and spoke system of airports, Boeing wanted to focus on efficiency that could link more cities together with non-stop service in a smaller airplane.
The 12- to 13-hour flight for Japan Airlines to Boston fills a void that airlines were not able to justify with a bigger aircraft. Boeing has delivered nine of the Dreamliners so far with more than 850 currently on order. All of the 787s flying at this point have been produced at the company’s factory north of Seattle, but this Friday Boeing will roll out its first 787 produced at its new South Carolina factory. The company will continue production at both facilities.

No money in BOS, no money in 787, ergo Japan Airlines, fed by JB's superhub in BOS, is sure to go bankrupt. However if we cull capacity faster than other airlines can add it, we will reap a revenue premium. For a little bit at least. What happens then is someone else's problem now hurry up and cash those bonus checks.

There's no money in the 787, hence the 10 year deferral. There's also no money in Boston, as evidenced by the nonexistent effort to challenge JB's overnight dominance while DL sits on a zillion dollar underutilized terminal even with a ton of gates used by other airlines.

There is no doubt the 787 will do to some existing fleets what the 767ER did to the 747-100/200, or what RJ's did to the 727.
I keep preaching to anyone who will listen that we need to look beyond seat limits to the real operational numbers for these airplanes and understand that a 76 seater with 757 economics is a 757.
By the same token, if the 787 can turn in better than A330 / 747 / 777 numbers then you are exactly right ... fly over the hub.
In the short term what you are probably seeing is that the Japanese Government has pumped about 10 to 12 (maybe more) Billion into JAL and they are competitors that we really can't compete with. It just isn't a fair game.
On our side of the ocean government is trying to figure out how to extract the maximum amount of revenue out of us and our passengers, same in Europe. No wonder the Asian and Middle Eastern carriers are growing ... the have a government that supports their business (or at least gets out of the way).
