Growing strongly. The 787 is the fastest-growing widebody type by deliveries. Production backlog extends well beyond 2030.
The 787 Dreamliner features composite fuselage construction allowing higher cabin pressure and humidity — measurably reducing pilot and passenger fatigue on long sectors.
Common type rating provisions allow 767-rated pilots to transition to the 787 with significantly reduced training hours.
Boeing has delivered over 1,100 787s with a backlog extending to 2032+, creating sustained long-term demand for rated pilots.
ANA and JAL (Japan) operate large 787 fleets and are active international recruiters — particularly for Captain positions.
The 787-10 stretched variant is popular with Gulf carriers for regional long-haul — Qatar Airways and Etihad both operate it extensively.
