annex14,
the Japanese have kept their sense of responsibility
I agree. ANA and JAL were the first to (independently) ground their fleet of 787, before the FAA or Boeing took any initiative. ANA doesn't yet seem convinced by Boeings "quick fix". And now JAL chairman Kazuo Inamori stated "We should have been much, much more careful. The only consolation is that there has been no grave accident".
Boeing definitely got one thing right with the 787 - their choice of launch customers. Maybe Boeing could even learn something from them. I believe the Japanese have done a lot to keep up the public's faith in aviation, and handled this unfortunate situation in a very professional way.
