And the Atlas Air guys? They don't have Qatar involved anywhere but still rejected some of the ordered planes. Ok, once again sorry, Peter. I did not want to annoy you with some things regarding facts on the Concorde incident. I just hope that you've now got the point. For example, MD wasn't sentenced, Concorde engines don't fail in pairs by design and that reading actually helps more than watching FOX News only.  :D I was just wondering why a grown up guy states wrong assumptions with that much confidence I guess. Could be that the actual repeat rate of that behavior is the 'wondering' factor though. However, the -400 would indeed be nice to see, maybe the 777 development helps a bit there.

Well Atlas Air backed out because of money I guess. Anyways, an airline pays for their planes along the way of building, so at a point ,if they cancel, Boeign keeps the money and seels teh plane anyways. So since Atlas was to get soem of those first one this year, my guess is Boeing will sell them at a discount from full price (but still above a -400BCF) and make double the money.
