The current generation of wide body jets are being built at rates that would have been hard to imagine a few years ago.  Fourteen jets a month is so much more than would have been contemplated before.  That is the sort of build rate that the 787 and the A350 are achieving.  The result is a lot of jets being in service not that long after the fleet first appeared.  Boeing recently built the 787^th 787.  It was a jet for China Southern and I got a shot of it returning to Everett.  I’m glad it was an Everett jet rather than a Charleston one.  I wonder who got to make that decision!
