The 787 is a fantastic aircraft. I know some of you are opposed to it because it's made by Boeing
I know that I am only SLF, but having read this thread from the beginning I can't recall anyone saying "Oh no it's a Boeing, I ain't going"
People on here recognise that Boeing make great aircraft, but there is a whiff of desperation here by Boeing, they need to get revenue flowing and if it means putting a box around a suspect battery and hoping the general public will not worry then they are heading for a bigger disaster, especially if another inflight fire happens
I expect the box itself will be gone before too long.
You said this not too long ago, do you still stand by that?
