Boeing has 866 orders for the 787 and Airbus has 530 orders for the A350 WXB. When deliveries do start, we'll be many years down the list.

While it's always great news when we order new aircraft, I was hoping for more 777's or 748's which could be delivered MUCH sooner allowing for upwards movement in the pilot ranks over the next 3-5 years.

Oh well, whats another couple years as an S/O...
