Finally, why is it taking Boeing and its insurers so long to even decide whether to repair or scrap since July if no safety of flight issue?
It may have nothing to do with safety of flight - but it has everything to do with public perception, not to mention Boeing's stock price.

To acknowledge that at this early stage in the 787's career the first one has been written off would be a PR disaster (though arguably Boeing are getting used to those).
