Branson forbannet på Boeing
Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, blasted The Boeing Co. at a celebration of a new Virgin airline, held Friday morning on Boeing's own turf.
Branson was in town to take delivery of the first plane, a 777-300ER, for V Australia, a new airline initially linking the West Coast and Australia.
"The delay on the 787 has been an absolute nightmare, and it's cost us a fortune. It really does make us think, 'Do we want to take a risk on Boeing in the future?' " Branson said.
