bd787, I think the "Questions" forum would have been a better place to post this question.
Dont let my screen name fool you
Screen names say a lot about people on this site, I personally look forward to the 787, and if your the same, then go with the NG. The furure markets can't be predicted, having the airbus rating makes life a lot simpler to move accross from the 319 to the 340, not quite the same with the boeing.
Honestly, this is a debate that can continue on until the cows come home and then some

I'm a Boeing man myself, so i'd say Boeing, but its your life, your decision. Whichever one you make, you'll still be doing what most of us love to do, Fly!
Good Luck
