Dreaming of a Delay
It looks like Boeing is taking a page straight out of the Airbus operations manual. The BBC is reporting that Boeing will delay the maiden flight of the new 787 ‘Dreamliner’ by as much as three months.
The competitor to the 787 from Airbus, the A350, has been experiencing similar delays, although not nearly as substantial as the delays for the massive A380. However, delays or not, nothing seems to be shaking the fact that Boeing has seven times as many orders (706 Boeing orders, according to the BBC v. 228 Airbus orders, according to the company website).
