Delayliner… oh sorry I meant Dreamliner 7e7…

Today the large commercial passenger carrier market is mainly Boeing and Airbus. And for the last couple of years both of them have been interested in the making sure one is one up on the other rather than making there planes work… latest being the another 4 month delay for the dreamliner… touted as a miser on gas. Boeing for the better part of last 5 odd years have been out to prove that they were correct when they did not follow Airbus’ lead into jumbo capacity carrier… and they did by coming up with the 7e7. But, they proved they were no better than their European foes at delivering the aircraft on time and all the regional supply alliances they formed to make sure national airlines bought the 7e7 have become a critical the reason for the delay along with the completeness of the carbon based design esp. for security… as shown with patches for the first 6 planes and complete re-design after that…
Anyways with the $100 crude the airline industry is going to be squeezed to the limit and any delay-related fines would be good way to get some respectable earnings no. (if any)… reminds me of the often-quoted saying (adapted to the situation)
Let your nos. and actions do the talking and not your mouth,
for you may have to eat the words yourself!
