Absolutely nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned! Smisek's job is to sell a product to his customers... a B787 is a product, one with a significant cost to the airline, and by all accounts one with a significant benefit for the passenger. It's his job to make potential passengers understand what those benefits are and, therefore, get bums on seats.

What happens once the passengers are on the plane is a whole different kettle of fish.
