That doesn't even make sense for at least two reasons.  How many
Dreamliners were supposed to be delivered by now?  Secondly, the 787 and
A380 are not even competing.  More interesting to see how many 747-8 orders
that Boeing picks up.

 "Boeing Co. may widen its lead in new airplane orders after its biggest
 rival postponed deliveries of a new superjumbo jet for the third time in
 16 months.

Much of the gain may come in sales of Boeing's next 747, a lighter,
fuel-efficient update to one of the company's best-known aircraft. For
clients concerned about the delays in Airbus SAS's competing A380 plane,
the 747-8 may seem like a safer option."


I would bet a beer that the 787 will not be 2 years late, if you want to
take that bet.
