I'd hate to see another project get canned because it was too much
too
soon.

Too much too soon? It looks like too little, too late. The delays
show
that they really weren't ready to roll it out and promise production.

Just my $0.02 worth.

they over promised and are paying the price.

Boeing has been crunching the numbers on a plane that size since 1966.
It has never proven to be financially viable by their numbers. They may
well have been right all along.

That would be a first.

Why do you say that? Boeing has been very succesful in the commercial

success of their product line speaks volumes about their ability to crunch
the numbers correctly.
