The Boeing Company
) secured an order from Canada's WestJet Airlines yesterday for
the supply of 65 new aircraft. The delivery of the planes is
expected to commence in Sep 2017 with production anticipated to
start in 2015. The order is for the company's new line of 737
aircraft and is worth $6.3 billion at current list prices.
Boeing will sell 40 737 MAX 8s and 25 737 MAX 7s. The line of
737 MAX is designed to suit all the requirements of an advanced
passenger carrier including efficiency, reliability and passenger
amenities. The final purchase deal is set to be concluded by Sep
The MAX 8 has the capacity to carry 162 to 175 passengers,
while the MAX 7 has room for 126 to 140 passengers. The narrow
body 737 MAX is expected to rival Airbus' A320neo carriers. The
latest incarnation of Boeing's 737 MAX is powered by CFM
International LEAP-1B engines which offer fuel cost savings of
13% from previous models.

deliveries to WestJet to 92.
Deliveries of Boeing's 737 will ramp up in 2013 backed by

top manufacturers is forecast to range between 27,350 and 34,000
in the next 20 years, which is a good sign for the company.

Shatner Answers Fan Questions
Like many of his fans, William Shatner wishes some of the technology of Star Trek was available today.
As reported by The BBC, Shatner would like a faster commute to work. When asked which Star Trek "toy" he would like to have today, he said, "I think having a transporter would beat the heavy traffic here in Los Angeles."
While some of the questions were serious, some were a bit on the frivolous side. When asked what made Kirk such an intergalactic stud and how the fan asking the question could replicate that success, Shatner said, "Unfortunately, you can't replicate his success. You need to have all my equipment."
Shatner felt that Star Trek was more than just a TV show, helping to break taboos and bring down boundaries. "Yes, I do think 'Star Trek' had influence in that area," he said. "It also apparently influenced a lot of people in making serious decisions about their lives."
Another fan asked if the womanizing, whiskey drinking and cigar smoking Denny Crane was William Shatner, Shatner answered that "All of William Shatner is there, plus there's much more untapped."

The transporter would be the single most useful system to have.
Trying to send a man to the moon? Use the transporter!
Want to visit the other side of the planet during your lunch break? No problem!
Want to steal vast quantities of gold from the national reserve? Success is just a click away!
Hmmm....nevermind, we'd just turn it into a weapon and make the world go boom. too bad, it could've been awesome. Like Shatner.
Re: Shatner Answers Fan Questions
I'd like to have a Runabout with the Cloaking Device option. That would give me a place to live, computer, food replicator, phasers, shields, warp drive, and yes, a Transporter. Yep, that would be clean living! :bolian:

Re: Shatner Answers Fan Questions
No transporter for me! I'm with McCoy! (I think "you" has to die and a "new you" appears... something a little too freaky for me, even if the "new you" isn't really aware of the death of the original).
The runabout with a cloaking device sounds good!
Re: Shatner Answers Fan Questions
I want a replicator. No more cooking.
