Straws in the wind....
From previous posts:
- 'Rainliner'
- Wiring thinly coated with non abrasion resistant Teflon
- AAIB request to inert the ELT only applies to the 787 (ie, believe problem is 787 specific and outside the ELT)
- Non standard installation (no crew rest area) - 'unused' wiring
If the problem is moisture and / or abraded wiring leading to a short it would be very bad news for Boeing - because it potentially raises generic questions about the 787 design that are not localised to the area around the ELT.
