I'd just enjoy the nice cabin pressure differential, quiet ride and watching the 'plastic' wings flex during any turbulent air. (Sorry about the word plastic....we all know this is not the case).
I am also looking forward to the comfortable experience in this cool plane.

For those who have not read this whole thread the containment boxes are not something dreamed up recently by Boeing as a "fix" to the recent issues. They were stipulated by the FAA in 2007 as part of the special conditions for introducing new technology not covered by existing regulations. The original document containing these special conditions was posted by someone a few pages back on this thread. Boeing are just 6 years late in complying with these requirements.
