We rolled out the 900ER today.  Pretty nice ceremony, I took pictures and will post them if I am allowed.  It was in our Boeing colors with the Lion Air tail, very nice looking.

Hopefully it will attract more customers than the standard 900...

It's no secret that the 600 and 900 arent selling too well, but I guess it doesnt matter when the 700/800 are in high demand, as usual  ;)

Lion Air is our launch customer and they ordered a bunch more in addition to their initial order of 10.  I know Continental bought some too.  They said during the roll out how many have sold so far but I can't remember who else bought them and how many.  I'm sure the video will be up on our internal web by the end of this week and I will know for sure.

I did here that Air Berlin was the initial launch customer, but Air Bus made a better offer on swapping the fleet to 320's and a couple of 319's

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
