I think 17% more fuel efficient over the MD-11 is what I was told by the head of the FDX B777 Standards.

Let the savings begin BB.
All they had there the other night was the powdered crud -- and when it ran out we had to get some guy w/ a key to unlock the replacement.

Boeing just sold 12 more 777s to an "undisclosed customer"

Any chance that's FedEx?
