This little baby better get up to the mid to high 40's otherwise it won't help if it could do mach 2 ...all the other guys (airbus family, even the 767, 737 etc) are all usually nicely spaced at .82-.84 ...with the exception of the odd 747-400 here and there ...which always make everyone life a misery ....mind you come to think of it ....it going to have some serious fender bending with all the biz jets zooming about in the mid to high 40's ....problemo ...major problemo ...it's like driving a Ferrari in a 120 km/h zone ...when everyone else is doing X ...you also have to go at X speed ...so much for two trips a day ...supposedly cutting an hour here and there ....
Sorry Boeing either go with the flow or don't go at all .....
