Lets hope rest of the B787 schedule goes smoothly. I do agree with [i]Chris Wallace[/i] in that I wouldn't be surprised to see Boeing develop the B789/B78-10 concurrently.

The 787-10, while not a true 777-200ER/A350-900 competitor in terms of range, will offer more passenger and cargo volume then either plane. As such, it could become a very popular TATL and Asia/Oceania regional plane, replacing A330-300s, 777-200s and 777-300s currently flying those missions (which is a current market of some 600+ planes). Airbus is evidently shopping a lighter-MEW version of the entire A350 family for such "regional" missions, so they too must see a market and don't want the 787-10 to take it all.
