I wonder if Boeing have explained to Qatar Airways that the 787 has surface coating adhesion imperfection issues or under certain conditions anyway? If not then will we see a similar situation develop between Qatar and Boeing like the legal proceedings between Qatar and Airbus (that Qatar had hoped would be rapidly settled in the London Courts) for the A350 paint adhesion issues. If anyone has close-ups of the 787 surface coating deterioration I'm sure Qatar would be pleased to see what they might be in for after their 787's have been flying for a while. Not to worry - it appears that speed tape will cover it up alright. Nothing to see here. No safety issue. Just a visit to the paint shop required according to Boeing.
