American Orders the Boeing 787

Old news by now, but American Airlines has announced an order for 42 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. This is good news for AA fliers. Of course, there’s a catch. The order is contingent upon reaching an agreement with American’s pilot’s union to actually operate the aircraft. While American says they are confident that they will reach such an agreement, I can’t help but think there will be some drama between here and reaching that agreement.
