here's a great video interview david kirkpatrick of fortune magazine did with the ceo of the design company that designed the dreamliner:

That really was a great interview. I'm so glad Boeing and their design teams took into account more than the airlines needs.

Now only if more US airlines, besides NWA and CO, would order these.
