lerxt,
you might want to get your facts straight.
the 767-400 has not been cancelled. the extended range version of the -400 along with the stretched 747 has been put on hold because there is not enough interest right now in those two products (i.e lack of market). its called good business sense.
it is obvious that boeing has been working on these (high speed projects) for awhile. they just didnt show their hand. you sound like one of those people that is never happy. you were probably one that ripped boeing for not developing something "new", and then when they do, you say that it is all a ploy to distract from their failures.
what do you want boeing to do?
