There’s speculation abound about the timing of the announcement of the latest 787 delay. Looks like it’s likely to come before the week is out. I’ve been hearing similar buzz as well.
James Wallace – Seattle PI:
Meanwhile, I’m hearing from airline and industry sources that Boeing
may announce as soon as Thursday the expected latest delay for the 787
program, which could be another six months.

The company
won’t confirm the delay, but the buzz with the airlines is that an
official announcement will come by Friday, if not sooner.Sources close to some of the airlines who are buying the new 787
Dreamliner have been getting warnings since Monday that Boeing is close
to announcing a delay of possibly six months.
