Well take 30 seconds and learn that the aircraft pulling vertically like that is not shopped. That is something Boeing's test pilot did on the very first -9 off the line to test the limits of the plane.

Define reliable.
NVM just noticed your location is Washington, you are probably one of the legacy groupies. It's cool eventually those will be converted into composite as well. For the record, this Aircraft is light years ahead of any of the other commercial aircraft in the same stage of their programs respective start up.

Okay. Got it. It has high tolerances for maneuver. Next time I'm flying commercially during a world war in which commercial aircraft are being targeted, I'll be sure to insist upon only utilizing the 787.

Not having the entire fleet grounded two years after it enters service would work for me.

Dude I'm a legal resident of Washington State who hasn't set foot there in six and a half years, but I live in the Washington DC area (that's what the "Washington" in my avatar references. As an aside, I'm a black shoe with no ties to or financial interest in the commercial aviation industry.
