It only made the front page of the WSJ because some muppets at the FAA dropped the ball and it took them six months to dig themselves out of the big hole they'd gotten themselves into. You cannot run an airline if you constantly refuse to fly out of fear that a regulatory agency will start spouting off to the press that what you have done is dangerous, even though they themselves approved it. We could equally appear on the front pages next month if the FAA decided they suddenly didn't like the aircraft dispatching under a Boeing approved MEL alleviation. Once again, BA were following approved procedures throughout the flight and the FAA have dropped all charges. Next time it happens it won't make the front pages because the FAA have learnt that if they open their mouths without thinking first then they just embarass themselves.
