I'll bet that 787 Boeing rolled out Sunday is really fuel efficient since it had no guts at all in it. Must be light as a feather. Am I the only one that noticed the light coming through the windows...and nothing inside to stop it? Do they always roll out empty hulls or were they short on time?

Yeah, it must be a real dog... It only stands to reason that it must be since they only have 642 hard orders for it and to the tune of 98 Billion.

I'm having a hard time finding the hard orders for the A350. Can some one help me out here?

Cool it on the defensive fanboy retort. He brought up a legitimate point, and anyone who has worked on or around composites knows well their good and bad points, the latter being somewhat unforgiving to even minor issues, such as though he has mentioned.

You are obviously very pro-Boeing ( I like them too ) but if you're going to judge an aircraft's merit based on order book numbers and A/C delivered, you could use the same logic on Airbus. They are not exactly a minor builder.

Actually, I heard from a pilot here at AA that the windows are like those eyeglass lenses that darken automatically in stronger light. They will still have a shade though for those who want to block the light completely.

What would be the sense of outfitting the interior? The plane has not yet been off the ground with test flights.
