I appreciate the update...Great, comprehensive post. I appreciate the updates on the utilization (and fate) of ZA001, 002 and 003. In a way, it is a shame that Boeing has to 'eat' the cost of these airplanes, rather than deliver them into commercial service, albeit at at reduced price. As has been noted here and elsewhere, the lack of parts documentation and other issues with these fine birds preclude their ever moving beyond an experimental certificate. I think Boeing expected this from day one. The 787 is not only a new aircraft, but also a new KIND of aircraft and not all of the R&D product will make it to the sales floor. Now... If they can just get over the re-work hump for the early line aircraft. I have to believe that they opened the production line a bit too soon.Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-12409031519830136352011-12-04T10:57:18.640-05:002011-12-04T10:57:18.640-05:00That was a wonderful article.
