Polls and more

We'll have to do another series of polls (completions) related to Boeing being out on a limb.

flightglobal has one that is interesting running currently. Here is a summary:

• Subject: latest 787 delay ...

• temp glitch 31%
• serious problem 57%
• project is doomed 12%

As of June 30, 2009, there were 2809 voters. So, about 300 expect demise? Interesting. That may have been the private view of some the past few years; any public expression of that would have resulted in being shouted down.

Based upon the yapping of the past few years, does the new Boeing think that accomplishment is necessarily accompanied with jaw-boning (or is it trash talking?)? Is that the Boeing of fame?
