I would have been very skeptical of the 787, mostly due to the setbacks lost contracts to Airbus, etc. But the fact that Airbus has been plagued by accidents, airspeed sensor problems and general bad press this past year, I think Boeing's got a golden opportunity to market this bad boy to the masses.
The timing couldn't be better, there are a lot of old airplanes that need be retired soon.
