How late would 787 be? It is pretty late now, isn't it? When is the latest scheduled EIS for ANA now?

my guess is that there are additional delays. boeing wasn't exactly conservative with their dateline on the 787 in contrast to airbus' 350 program. =/

Thanks for the link. Good reading.

I know it is silly but 787 is the one aircraft that I will give it time before I would fly on. The fasteners issues on the first few frames are quite disturbing and Boeing has not done enough lately to boost my confidence in this newest aircraft.

Regardless, I hope to see this aircraft airborne soon and I also hope the best for the flight testing so it can really enters its EIS in Feb. 2010.
