Gotta love the 787. recently flew Fiji Airways A330 and A350( LAX - NAN). Both were very impressive, comfortable, modern aircraft(love the IFE). Both are on par with the 787 - perhaps just a touch better ?
How many of the built or improperly built 787’s are actually wanted by their original buyer?
United’s long distance fleet needs replacements fast! . They sent one of their 767 to be repainted, but ended up scraping it due to corrosion. Very dangerous

There is more to that story than just an older airplane.
Thank you Chicken Little.
Why do U.S. Airlines continue to purchase/lease foreign-made aircraft? Why rely on unreliable foreign governments that will ruin our country in the long run? It's about time that we take care of our own people with good jobs and a healthy economy.
The best path to a healthy economy is healthy competition -- and lets be honest, Boeing isn't healthy at all. Protectionism does more harm than good in the long run
We buy foreign aircraft because they are capable and competitive. I’m not afraid of France and Germany turning on us anytime soon. Airbus is a big contributor to their economy just as Boeing is to ours. Also, if we buy only US made aircraft, the airlines are dealing with a single supplier which is also risky. If you are talking about Chinese or Russian airliners, I would agree about the risk.
