It Could Be Years Before Dreamliners Are Back in the Air
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner just can't catch a break. After all of the planes were grounded following some seriously troubling melting batteries, the FAA has been taking a look into what exactly went wrong. They'll take their time though; it could be years before the birds are back in the sky. (gizmodo.com) Mehr...

What's your source?
They are about to resume test flights, so time speculation like this is ridiculous.
There is a huge difference between getting permission to conduct flight testing and resuming normal PAX service.
Worst case, they will replace the LiPo battery system with the NiCad system from the 777. Re-engineer the LiPo system and reintegrate. Simple just expensive...
If the FAA and other government agencies were a corporation they would be bankrupt. Oh, I guess
Oh dear, looks like Boeing is up sh*t creek without a paddle. The gamble on more-electric technology isn't paying off, Elon Musk is criticizing their battery design, and even the employee who was fired for rejecting the battery during testing has come out of the woodwork. Sounds like they need a dual-source solution and fast!
