Boeing CEO Jim McNerney then spoke of the advantages of the new jetliner and introduced Brokaw, who called the 787 "a rock star of the future" and announced the 677 orders. The pixilated numbers appeared in story-high brilliance on each side of the stage and a roar overtook the building. The managers and workers of Boeing's supply partners who collaborated to develop the 787 joined the event via satellite from six locations, including Fuji, Kawasaki and Mitsubishi in Japan, Alenia in Italy, and Global Aeronautica/Vought and Spirit...
