Rookie120 0 #10 June 26, 2007 We should be getting our first one in 2009 sometime. I dont know which number it will be. We already have people scheduled with the Boeing training reps to get us up to speed a little on the thing. It should be a great plane to fly on. I will be flying out to Boeing to see #1 on the line. I got a invitation from our REP to a nice tour behind the scene. Amazon if you promise not to choke me maybe I could get a spot for you to go with.Edit for spelling If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
