In reply to Whatdoesthisbuttondo,
60 years ago, the DH Comet was also popular with pax and crew; faster, quieter, etc.
Then design flaws caught up with it and it never recovered; I believe that 787 could be a superb plane, IF Boeing are prepared to take their corporate head out of the sand and produce an engineered solution that matches public perception.
I'm don't think I'm in a minority of one in thinking that Boeing's
PR team are working at least as hard as their engineers.
