I'd feel better about this if Boeing was actually selling airliners now.

Boeing Optimistic About Jet Sales in Asia

TOKYO (AP) -- U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Co. expects steady
demand for its new 7E7 Dreamliner jets in Asia, a top
executive said Friday.

The mid-sized 7E7 ``is right for a lot of airlines,''
particularly those in Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle
East, said Thomas Pickering, Boeing's senior vice president
for international relations.

Boeing says the 7E7s, which carry 200 to 250 passengers,
will be lighter and more fuel-efficient than other
comparable models.

Pickering refused to give sales targets or details of
continuing negotiations with Asian airlines. But he said
Boeing is in close contact with key customers to discuss
``every aspect of the airplane.''

The company has said it plans to sell 2,000 to 3,000 of the
7E7 jets in the next 20 years, although it didn't provide a
regional breakdown for the sales.

About 35 percent of the 7E7 will be made in Japan by the
three suppliers -- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki
Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries.
