Personally, I think the first 100,000 passengers should look like one of these.
Reminds me of how Soviet airliners used to spend their initial service just flying mail and cargo on their proposed service routes, before being permitted to carry passengers. The Tu-134 spent 2,600 hours doing so, and the initial Tu-154s did so from May 1971 to Feb 1972. No time for that kind of caution in the West, money won't make itself!
