Wow, it sure is easy to kick someone when they are on the ground.
If they were flying there would be no reason to kick them
Customers expected to buy aircraft that fly, and in the current situation, some barking at Boeing is to be expected. I don't see much drama in that, and I concur that this is just a temporary setback. Boeing has 890 firm orders, airlines love the promise of lower fuel burn, and in the long run, the 787 will deliver exactly that (just to clarify: when it flies).
