So do you think Delta, or American will place any orders for the 787?

Like I said, I think that DAL and AMR will make very large 787 orders and thus Boeing will open a second production line. Why else did they modify 4 747-400's They only needed two for the current production schedule.

Doesn't appear to be as easy as making more

"BA97.90, -0.25, -0.3%) is just beginning production of its new midsize long-range 787, while Airbus is ramping up production of the single-aisle A320 and of the A380 superjumbo. Both companies have also said they're wary of lifting production because of supply chain stress."

Quite true, but I would be very surprised to see AMR and DAL wait. They may, but I find it interesting that the made 4 of their large 747 when they even stated that two was the max that they would ever need. It is in last weeks AWST.
I guess we will all find out by the end of the week.
