“...the media is blowing the 787 problems out of proportion.”
Agree - this is not uncommon for a brand new-design aircraft to have issues. Computer modeling can only take you so far - it’s actual flight-hours and cycles that can detect flaws.
But I do think Boeing upper-Mngmnt bears a large part of the blame - too many post-grad. degrees from fine schools and not a lick of aviation blood in their veins - I see it all the time with my company.

Agreed. But it still doesn’t answer why this was such big news, carried by all the major networks and newspapers. It just doesn’t make any sense unless you look at it from the “union” point of view.
