OH!!! That explains our UAL 787 order, to compiment after the merger.

So that means the August system bid should reflect a 787 bes somewhere, right?

Just wait until that plastic/composite tonka toy comes apart in mid flight.......

Just wondering... where did you get this info from?

Also, yeah... I would ASSUME that an Aug bid would show initial 787 openings. Then again, I still have not heard anything official concerning how this thing is going to be crewed-
777 guys?
separate BES?
Heard alot of rumors one way or the other, but until it's on paper... I won't believe it till I see it.

Then again, this last bid should have brought back the 147 and it didn't. So who knows what the Aug bid will show. Hell, I'm hoping for a April bid that brings back the 147 and gets me back to EWR based... and back on the 756 soon too!

I won't be worried about it coming apart inflight..
I think the biggest worry is going to be the first time a catering truck hits it and damages the composite. I can see alot of canceled flights due to that!

No, I would say the bid reflecting the 787 will be the spring of 2011.
Just because the bids are titled for effect 12 months away means nothing; that date just gives them the breathing room they need in case they choose, or screw up.

Legal and HR don't allow an answer to this question.

If a catering truck hit a conventional aircraft it be out for a while. The military has been using all composites for decades, under way more rigorous conditions. I'm betting the Boeing engineers have thought this eventuality out.

The 787 will be crewed in the 777 base. Differences training will be all that's needed. (just like the 757 & 767)
