I usually fly American Airline and last that I can see is they weren't yet committed to getting the 787. Still trying to find more info.

Boeing 787 Ends Flight Tests, Nears Approval

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-17/boeing-787-ends-flight-tests-nears-approval.html


Boeing Co.’s new 787 Dreamliner, the world’s first composite-plastic commercial jet, finished its 20- month flight-test program last weekend in the final hurdle toward approval for passenger service that could start next month.


Looking forward to an American carrier to get their first one.
