ANA Takes Delivery:" First Boeing 787 Dreamliner"

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-sized wide-body, twin-engine aircraft developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It has space for 210 to 290 passengers, depending on the variant.

ANA has delivered the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner today, marking a major milestone in the life cycle of the project. Boeing Dreamliner for over 7 years and the first shipment today with the signing of the papers is the first step in a 3-day festival to Boeing, ANA and the global aviation industry.
After signing the contract today, there will be a ceremonial handing over of the aircraft, "key" on Monday. The airline will fly the plane back to Japan on Tuesday.

Today's events are still a few years after the original forecast.
While this delivery is a great event and most people are excited, there are a number of people not so enthusiastic about the delivery.
According to sources, the project on budget and horribly rarely profitable for the aircraft manufacturer.
There are also concerns that the plane is not really ready for service, but it was delivered anyway.
Today's article in Seattle Times is pretty brutal on the entire project, detailing the cost overruns, project delays and other problems that have hindered the development and construction of the new cell.

Boeing spokeswoman Lori Gunter said the 787-team "on track" to deliver.

But an experienced mechanic to work on eight of the opinion, it's just not ready for the jet service. The engineer, who flew the test flights of fears that it will not immediately meet the standard of reliability required by ANA.

The chief engineer, however, rejected as "bugs" as usual in a new program.
They are not as bad as they were for the original 747th

The good news for me is that the plane has now ANA.
I just hope that the problems with the reliability are such that my chance to fly in a few weeks to miss the first week of scheduled operations.
