The Viper's official name is Fighting Falcon and has been for more than thirty years. If you Google Fighting Falcon you get more results than you do if you Google Viper.

But an F-16 is a stinkin' Viper. Always has been, always will be.

Dreamliner? Boeing is going to have to suck it up and call it Sparky.

24th and 25th airplane has been pushed to 2017. True story. Company wants to conserve cash.

Thought the game changing, gas saving scabliner was the company's savior.

Conserve cash? Doth Nostradomus forecast doom ahead? What happened to the not so distant "Hahvaad speak" of dividends and returning the shareholders their rightful money?

Sooner or later it won't matter.

5. For a period of five (5) years beginning with the Bid Period in which the ISL is first implemented, or until the carrier takes delivery of its twenty-fifth (25th) B787 aircraft, whichever occurs sooner, no premerger Continental pilot may be awarded a Captain or First Officer vacancy on a B747 or A350 aircraft or displaced to one and no premerger United pilot may be awarded a Captain or First Officer vacancy on a B787 aircraft or displaced to one.

These airplanes generate more cash than they cost.

Nice try.

OK troll, try talking to the 787 fleet manager. Maybe you know more about the aircraft deliveries then he does. Talked to him last week.
