Look even better if there wasn't a scab in the left seat.

Can you believe Ethiopian airlines is the the third airline to take delivery of a dreamliner?
I thought they were a poor country? I guess that 50 cents a day, cup of coffee crap on those commercials paid off!

I heard first class meals on Ethiopian were pretty good...

Rock Soup served with a nice Stick Salad garnished with sand....complete with two Flies that walk around on your nose.


Bada-Boom! Rimshot please...I'm here all week, two drink minimum and remember to tip your waitresses!

The Ethiopian Airlines 787 is configured to seat 1000. That's how they can afford it. 'Economy of scale'.

Don't kid yourself, they are not United colors they are Continental colors just like our new uniforms.

At least it's nice to finally see one bound for a US airline.

Did I read a few threads back that the junior FO on the CAL/UAL 787 is a 2006 CAL hire? If so, that ain't bad! I know several guys from my craaaap regional who passed up on CAL in 2006 for JB. One is an E190 Capt and the others are still FOs on the Bus. Picking airlines is a crapshoot...

How many more 787s will be delivered to CAL/UAL this year? Will CAL drivers fly them all? How soon will UAL pilots get their hands on one (their own delivery)?
