This is really sad. America once set the standard for aircraft design, reliability and safety. Fifty years of decadence and educational decline seem be taking its toll. We live in sad times.

"If it's Boeing, it ain't going."
Quip aside, I'm sure Boeing will sort things out.

Not sure about this one, but all the others that had problems were assembled in WA, not SC. WA is union, SC is not.

I’d swim to Japan before I’d get on one of those things.

"If it's Boeing, it ain't going."
Haha...reminds me of some oldies:
"If you really don't care..fly US Air"
"If you got all Day...fly TWA"
..and my favorite, the flight attendant's nickname for Denver International Airport (DIA) "DamnNear in Abilene".
To: MinorityRepublican
This is almost one serious incident per day. Batteries, cracked cockpit windshield, fuel leaks....
Is this union sabotage for moving to SC, use of too many overseas parts, or really bad design?

I recall the emphasis on International Team..
The 787 International team
and IIRC some related problems in the various stages of development.

This strikes me as a “revenge of the union thugs” kind of thing. We’ll show those SOB’s!

“America once set the standard for aircraft design, reliability and safety. “
Bet you could find the same stories on most other former new aircraft when they were a new design.
