agree.

The average punter is fairly aviation savvy these days. Pick up any paper and you see in in their -delay -delay then the reasons-stress, not ready blah blah.

I'm no shrink but all of this will sit on the subconscious of pax for a long time.

This has /will be a PR disaster for Boeing.

Even Obama would struggle putting a "spin" on this program.

The public have already lost confidence in the "plastic fantastic"-WET DREAM LINER.

If Airbus have learnt anything from this and the inexcusable delays on the a-380 they will launch the A-350-ON TIME. Watch the orders roll in.

I don't want to go back to the past but -Dixon, Jackson and Gregg should be castigated for not signing up to the 777-ER when they had their chance in 2003 when it did the promo trip round Oz. . It was/is the right aircraft for QF.
