I realize the Captain would be a seasoned veteran for JAL but how is the 1st Officer selected? Most senior 1st Officer if there is such a catagory?

I failed to mention my inquiry was about the inaugural flight to Boston.

The plane has beautiful proportions, and I like the simple JAL livery that draws attention to the aircraft itself. But I wonder how much wider engine nacelles can become. In the head-on shot, each engine looks to be 1/2 the diameter of the fuselage itself!

GE 90/115b has a fan diameter of 128 inches. Engines for 787: Trent 1000 has fan diameter of 112 and the GE GEnx has a fan diameter of 111 inches. Yes, they can get bigger!

Yes, pretty soon they'll get so big they'll have to put them back on the tail where they belong!
