I think you're missing my point, which is, I conceed probably off-topic and anecdotal. The fact is, however, and the commercial side of the industry does need to deal with this, there is a growing PERCEPTION (Which is not the same as technically proven fact) amongst the travelling public that the 777 is not safe and that 4 engined planes are safer.
What utter rubbish. Have you visited flyertalk, and perhaps seen that regular business travellers there have absolutely no qualms about stepping onto a 777 (and they do indeed know what aircraft they are boarding).

This is just melodrama. The incidence rate of the events encountered in this flight is so small as to be remote - as stated by the AAIB.

You clearly have little understanding of aircraft if you believe that a 4-engined aircraft would not be affected by similar common faults. Are we returning to posts from people who believe everything is dangerous if they do not fully understand it? I certainly hope not.
