I can only agree with overstress The important thing is to get in on any fleet. FWIW, I gather that the 787 probably wont be that popular at the start either, as the present rules mean that pilots would have to leave the 777 fleet to fly it initially. Apart from the trainers and the super keens, I think most senior guys will stay put. There will be a golden opportunity for some junior pilots to fly the worlds most advanced airliners in one of the worlds best airlines.
