Implicit in this FAA 'review' is a thorough inventory of the relationship Boeing/FAA.
So it is worthy of note that Boeing is defensive. In aviation, 'attitude' is all.

From CNN......
"The grounding of the 787 fleet illustrates not the flaws in Boeing's industrial culture -- a rush to bring the airliner to market, a degree of over-innovation or a desire to please shareholders by outsourcing too much design and production -- but the rigor of a regulatory regime with a zero tolerance of any mote of imperfection. And, for anyone who flies, that is good to know."
Rubbish, and I call BS on this.... Japan grounded them first, and FAA followed suit.
Likewise, thirty percent of this CNN piece is lifted from PPRuNe...
