I think it is a mixed bag for Boeing. Although the cause of the fire seems not to have been Boeing's fault, the bad publicity has cast further public and industry doubts on the 787.

A good repair will be great news, and increase confidence in the chosen material, but the length of time and complexity of the repair operation, plus its costs, including airport fees and lost revenue, is going to be high.

I eagerly await progress eagerly.
