You must have some pretty crap lineys then. The second part of your statement sounds exactly like the 787 fim. Do the system test, if it passes it was an intermittent fault. Return to service. Some tests even tell you to run the test more than once if it fails
Agree with most of the sentiments though. The cabins are dreadfully built. Windscreens are made of cheese and those sun visors need burning. I have to disagree on the noise though having done recent flights on 744 346 773 the 787 is leagues quieter. Although not at quiet as the 388.
