The Boeing 777X-9 (which is a bit behind schedule) will have 60 fewer seats but will be longer than the 747-8. Also a wider wingspan (which required the use of folding tips).

Hundreds of Boeing employees were there for the rollout.

Reply to ‘I feel like a migrant worker’: Gianni Infantino hits out at World Cup criticism | World Cup 2022 by SounderBruce
The whole quote is...quite something:
>Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker.
>“Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated [against], to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country."
>“As a child I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian so imagine."

There's a few wildfires in the Cascades east of Seattle that are producing huge smoke plumes that are covering the lowlands to the west. It's quite unprecedented to have them burning on the western slopes this late in the year, but that's what we have to live with now.

2015 is when we really started to have prolonged effects in the Puget Sound region.

Lufthansa and Korean Air are your best bets, as they have the largest fleet of 747-8s. Not many of the -400s are still in service.
