Boeing may delay first 787 delivery by 6 more months
Boeing is considering pushing back first delivery of its 787 by at least six more months, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper is citing people familiar with the situation as saying Boeing officials are expected to announce later this month that first deliveries may not occur until as late as summer 2010, in part because of the recent two-month machinists' strike and ongoing supplier and other problems.
The 787 programme has already faced multiple delays and first delivery was originally due to have taken place to launch customer All Nippon Airways in May this year. If deliveries are pushed back to summer 2010 this will represent a delay of more than two years from the original plan.
Last month Boeing said a year-end target for first flight of the 787 would not be met as a result of the 57-day strike by machinists. It said new first flight and first delivery target dates would not be set until a full assessment of the programme's post-strike status took place.

Qantas puts its first A380
Qantas puts its first A380 into serviceNicholas Ionides, Singapore (20Oct08, 02:49 GMT, 169 words)
Australia's Qantas Airways has put its first Airbus A380 into commercial service, becoming the third operator of the ultra-large type.
The Oneworld alliance carrier says its first commercial A380 flight departed Melbourne at 11:15 today and the aircraft is scheduled to land in Los Angeles at 07:30 where it will be met by dignitaries and celebrities.
Qantas took delivery of its first A380 last month and had been using it since then for staff training. Following the inauguration of Melbourne-Los Angeles services today, it will from 24 October operate the aircraft on some of its Sydney-Los Angeles services and from January will use it for some of its services to London via Singapore.
The carrier has another 19 A380s on firm order for delivery through the end of 2013. It is due to take delivery of two more by the end of 2008 and should have eight in service by the end of next year.
Qantas is now the third operator of the A380, after Singapore Airlines and Emirates.

Buy American. I Am. by Warren Buffet
THE financial world is a mess, both in the United States and abroad. Its problems, moreover, have been leaking into the general economy, and the leaks are now turning into a gusher. In the near term, unemployment will rise, business activity will falter and headlines will continue to be scary.So ... I've been buying American stocks.
This is my personal account I'm talking about, in which I previously owned nothing but United States government bonds. (This description leaves aside my Berkshire Hathaway holdings, which are all committed to philanthropy.) If prices keep looking attractive, my non-Berkshire net worth will soon be 100 percent in United States equities.Why?
A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors. To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions. But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation's many sound companies make no sense. These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now.
Let me be clear on one point: I cant predict the short-term movements of the stock market. I haven't the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month — or a year — from now. What is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up. So if you wait for the robins, spring will be over.
A little history here: During the Depression, the Dow hit its low, 41, on July 8, 1932. Economic conditions, though, kept deteriorating until Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in March 1933. By that time, the market had already advanced 30 percent. Or think back to the early days of World War II, when things were going badly for the United States in Europe and the Pacific. The market hit bottom in April 1942, well before Allied fortunes turned. Again, in the early 1980s, the time to buy stocks was when inflation raged and the economy was in the tank. In short, bad news is an investor's best friend. It lets you buy a slice of America’s future at a marked-down price.
Over the long term, the stock market news will be good. In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.
You might think it would have been impossible for an investor to lose money during a century marked by such an extraordinary gain. But some investors did. The hapless ones bought stocks only when they felt comfort in doing so and then proceeded to sell when the headlines made them queasy.
Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn't. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value. Indeed, the policies that government will follow in its efforts to alleviate the current crisis will probably prove inflationary and therefore accelerate declines in the real value of cash accounts.
Equities will almost certainly outperform cash over the next decade, probably by a substantial degree. Those investors who cling now to cash are betting they can efficiently time their move away from it later. In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”
I don't like to opine on the stock market, and again I emphasize that I have no idea what the market will do in the short term. Nevertheless, I'll follow the lead of a restaurant that opened in an empty bank building and then advertised: “Put your mouth where your money was.” Today my money and my mouth both say equities.
