Full emergency evac
Congrats to ANA for a well executed emergency procedure, and for taking decisive action to limit the risks to lives.
Boo to the FAA for hiding behind the word "investigation" in order to delay action.
There's probably an insurance/financial/legal reason why Boeing and the FAA won't address the problem more aggressively and issue an advisory to ground the 787 fleet; this is in fact more disturbing than an issue which is now known and can be solved by replacing a battery by a better battery.
If there are another couple of smoke/fire incidents then I don't think they'll manage to find pilots for these things unless they supply them with ejection seats and parachutes.
