FAA faces obstacles in approving Boeing Dreamliner fix
"The NTSB has questioned the process Boeing and the FAA used to certify the plane."
"Weber speculated that the safety concerns may result in regulators restricting the 787's ability to make long flights over water, a standard known as ETOPS. Such a change would be a severe blow to Boeing and airlines that use the Dreamliner for long-haul direct flights with about 250 passengers, a highly lucrative market that the 787 can serve at 20 percent lower fuel cost than other planes."
