I think that BA/Boeing/RR need to respond quickly. There seems to be a groundswell of (Albeit uninformed) public opinion developing that until the problems are clarified and resolved, better to avoid the 777. This was "explained" to me as follows: "If the chances of such a random event are remote, statistics dictate that it could happen again today. In the meantime, I prefer to fly 4 engined planes." Never mind that this is not PEK in winter.
The old adage that "Because they don't make em with 6" comes to mind?

You know, there is a kind of logic to this and the markrting gurus need to respond.
