Very good article EZE...thanks for the post, interesting read.

Are you kidding? That's not greedy, that's damn smart. You weren't the only one hoping for a falling price to jump on...lol

Now that was my thought, but of all the reading I have done on this, it would appear that the plan is to fix the current problem with the lithium battery system. Chevy made the fix on the 'Volt' and apparently were successful. The concern apparently is that the batteries, when they do catch fire, burn 3 times the temperature than the carbon fibre skin of the plane can handle.

Ahhh just as I suspected, this is all the FAA's fault. lol lol

Very nice post Walker. I'm not usually into beards, but these guys are delicious.

Bottom line is that the FAA didn't build the plane, Boeing did, and now they are in full meltdown, according to the papers as all 787 are grounded. Will the 787 ever fly, absolutely, but who am I going to trust to tell me when it is safe? The FAA or some guy from Boeing. I have my answer to that.

True enough, but it is also my right to have a public servant watch over a corporation that has clearly shipped part of the manufacturing overseas, that some have indicated is possibly responsible for the problems the 787 is having. Who watches the Corporations?

My feelings exactly FF. Thank you for another post that is "Spot on"

No, lol lol.... but I'll venture a guess that the FAA and NTSB are more right than some anonymous poster who may or may not be a pilot...there are clearly issues with the 787, and to dismiss those as simple growing pains is irresponsible in my opinion. Until we know for certain how serious these issues are and how Boeing intends to solve them, my moneys on the FAA and NTSB to let me know when it is safe to fly these planes.

When it comes to my safety, I will decide who the expert in the room is. Most likely it will be the FAA, rather than some anonymous poster on an escort review site...seriously!

As I said, I love to fly, but I also love to get there in one piece. I appreciate the info about the other aircraft that you mentioned. I am not a pilot, and unlike some members who fly "private".... that is not an option for me. So for me when I know a plane has gone through years of testing, and then still gets grounded, and now the FAA is talking about grounding Dreamliners until they can be proven airworthy, I just get concerned. I am waaaay to young to meet my maker. And I do prefer cruising over air travel, but unfortunately you have to fly to where the ship leaves from, and then once there I start thinking about the "Costa Concordia"......Oh what to do?

Was the original OP Clairvoyant? With the thread from EZE and others, is it time for the traveling public to be concerned, as yet another Boeing 787 runs into trouble in Japan. Should I avoid this aircraft for the trips abroad. Inquiring minds want to know.

OK...can I pull Tom Cruise from my list and add Mr. Sabato. Come to think of it, I really don't care if little Tommy is gay, besides, he's old, and well Antonio is just the ticket.

Channing Tatum Mark Wahlberg Tom Cruise....OK OK don't say it. Listen I just gotta know once and for all if the boy is family or not.

Good investigative work E2W...well done. Those Southern Boys are very entrepreneurial.

Well he is a Southern Gentleman...so I am guessing it would depend on which Southern State he was from, there might be hope.

Who knew!!..........

Very cute....gave me a chuckle.

Very cute...lol lol lol

He is Angelic....

Sounds just a tad bit like the posts on the forum.....

Sound advice...........Though I do understand the financial burden you are under. Just keep information like this in your back pocket, and you will remember it when the time comes. Most likely it will put you ahead of the game. Good Luck...

Very cute EJ...I needed a smile this morning.

And a bank statement....that's always helpful.

Very cute EJ....
