There was a one paragraph blurb in the business section this morning that
Boeing will shutdown the 757 production line late next year. Is the
Dreamliner to be the replacement in the product line? I didn't think the
Dreamliner would be certified that soon.

BOEING CO. said it would shut down its 757 narrow-body jet line
in Renton, Wash., in late 2004 after 22 years for lack of
orders, and take a pretax charge of $184 million. Boeing's
Seattle-based jetliner unit delivered more than 1,000 of the
mid-sized 757s since 1982 but airlines in recent years have
instead chosen the smaller and cheaper 737 model as well as
jets from rival Airbus SAS.
