Goodbye SEA 777 base
Game changing, if we're planning on throwing the game. Delta is going to have a record 2 billion in profits (truly amazing accomplishment) flying older planes and zero 787s . Our merger equivalent is the Obama Care Website.

Delta is rocking' it, they've expanded WB flying not only out of SEA to NRT, but also to ICN, and PVG (while UA down gages). I can't wait to see how UA management spins their IT flight ops meltdown when they combine CAL/UAL flight planning systems.

Basically the 787 is the worst airplane ever launched by Boeing.
It has failed in almost all the performance promises made by Boeing and its on-time record is far worse.
Jeff said the 777 had its problems when it was introduce. While the statement is true, it is only partially true. The 777 was the most successful launch of any new Boeing airplane in its history and had no where near the problems of the 787.
One of the big issues with the 787 is every time it lands it has a huge number of EICAS messages which have to be cleared before departure. For some reason when in a foreign land it seems their technicians (we don't call them mechanics any more) have great difficulty clearing these and getting the airplane read for departure.
Of course Jeff S. said the B747-400 was like a typewriter, "it had its day!" at a recent Standards Meeting. I wish the guy would stop talking, he's a national embarrassment.
