Boeing's New 787 Dreamliner's problems continue with two problems in two days - at the same airport for the same airline!
Here is a link to the story.

This is all very typical for teething problems one new aircraft.Still, this plane was delayed to almost no end. Many airliner fans must have been delighted to see it finally enter service. I hope that now these issues will be solve, but they don't seem too big.
Well of course, 'cause I liked planes too until the LCCs expletived the domestic industry and now I only care about the routes without LCCs.This is all very typical for teething problems one new aircraft.Still, this plane was delayed to almost no end.

What, pray tell, are LCC's?Swadian, how many LCCs do you believe operate the 787? I am trying understand the relevance of your comment above.
Googled it - Low Cost CarriersWhat, pray tell, are LCC's?Swadian, how many LCCs do you believe operate the 787? I am trying understand the relevance of your comment above.
After decades of continuous homogenization nearly every single major US airline in existence today has essentially become a LCC at its core. Whatever relatively minor differences that remain have little or nothing to do with being an LLC or a Legacy.
Agreed! And as original LCC's have matured, airlines such as Southwest have now began suffering some of the issues that legacy carriers have--mainly labor unrest.After decades of continuous homogenization nearly every single major US airline in existence today has essentially become a LCC at its core.

The FAA "just certified the airplane, so they're going to go back and redo it." Does the FAA "not trust" their "own people?" asked Goglia, [a former member of the NTSB] who's also a former airline mechanic.
Kevin Hiatt, president and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation, says the situation speaks to what's going on inside the FAA itself. "We hope they take a look at their own processes internally to make sure that they're up to date and on par with this new technologically advanced aircraft."
I don't care much about LCCs but I'm posting about the 787 because LCCs don't fly them!Swadian, how many LCCs do you believe operate the 787? I am trying understand the relevance of your comment above.
That's why I don't even care about those "cheap" routes anymore (when Legacies lowered fares to match LCCs) that people keep complaining are too expensive. AKA domestic routes.After decades of continuous homogenization nearly every single major US airline in existence today has essentially become a LCC at its core. Whatever relatively minor differences that remain have little or nothing to do with being an LLC or a Legacy.Agreed! And as original LCC's have matured, airlines such as Southwest have now began suffering some of the issues that legacy carriers have--mainly labor unrest.Eventually as there is no difference between original LCC's and Legacy's, there will rise a new wave of LCC's to undercut the older carrier's.......After decades of continuous homogenization nearly every single major US airline in existence today has essentially become a LCC at its core.

JAL has also grounded the 787. Not a good time for Boeing.An All Nippon Airways 787 made an emergency landing and evacuation at Takamatsu, Japan (TAK) on Wednesday (1/16) after the pilot reported a battery fault indication and an odor was noticed in the cabin. As a result, ANA has grounded it's fleet of seventeen 787 aircraft.

All those years of having to hear the Boeing enthusiasts claim that Airbus was a joke of a manufacturer. It's certainly true that the A380 had multiple problems out of the gate and that the B777's EIS was smooth as silk, but two data points in a vacuum do not make a rule. I guess after several years of A380 success and B787 delays that assumption didn't quite pan out the way many assumed it would. Frankly I wondered when something like this would be on the horizon back when the FAA started implementing self-testing and approval of safety regulations and quality assurance standards. Guess it was sooner rather than later.JAL has also grounded the 787.
