FAA to Launch Review of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner
After the recent and well-known issues with the B787 the FAA is now taking a closer look at Boeing's flagship. It is a rather uncommon move by the FAA, which will proceed to reassess the electrical systems and production process/quality control. Let's hope it all turns out well...

so how about the Airbus 380,CW (crack wings), Its not only Boeing that has its problems, and yet Airbus still flyes its CW's. I fly Boeing any day...
Every new plane has it bugs... They just have to be worked out.
I know, but it seems that Boeing is getttting slaped hard. Just have to wait and see how things pan out.
Haven't seen one land here in Hawaii yet, been looking.
Only the 380CW has been here and grounded for a week, twice.

Looking back it seems that Boeing rushed the test phases shortening them and not being terribly strict about them which is understandable considering that they were 3-4 years behind in the deliveries and airlines were demanding the payments of heavy penalties, but it is not justified at all as safety should be paramount. It is going to cost Boeing a lot of dough, the stock will also suffer and the break even point will go up even more but they will remedy all these maladies.
A top organisation gets that tag due to her being flawless in ALL respects . Zero error means no error. In mechanical workshop practices for example , there is a system of " fits and tolerances " . At times the limits are too fine and the machine operator HAS to stick to that no matter what and the Supervisor is paid just to ensure the same . Lesser the incidence of ' error ' the better is the image of the workshop , and the department , the division and the Profit Centre . And finally the image of the organisation . If Boeing want to remain at the top , the quality control system have to flawless . And considering the nature of product , the system has to be perfect ! And I am confident that Boeing will adopt the necessary mid course correction and come out with flying colors . Good luck to Boeing .
Could be worse. The 707 once did an uncommanded barrel roll!!!! Lol
