787 sales reach 191
and
Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines today announced a preliminary agreement for up to 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliner passenger planes
Well a "preliminary agreement" for "up to 10" is certainly not a sale of another 10, and if Boeing is going to count every little expression of interest as a sale they are really scraping the
PR barrel.
Oh and by the way I'm with the others who think that the Ethiopian Govt airline has surely got better things to do with their money currently than go for the latest aviation technology. Now if Boeing had GIVEN the Ethiopians one of the last 767s, say, that would be altogether more meritorious. It's the sort of unwise expenditure third world countries get talked into by overbearing western salesmen which then leads to debt that cripples the country and gives no benefit whatsoever to the local population, but which, in parallel moves this week, we in the west are then expected to write off as if the money had been borrowed to feed the starving population.
