beyond that there is no way they are going to take every airplane apart from the 787 out of the sky overnight because of this issue
Certainly not, what a stupid argument. But we can help pressing every manufacturer and airline to make/purchase cleaner and healthier aircraft, as this technology is readily available.
We did that with mandating catalytic converters in cars and reigning in hormone use in food, etc. etc. and it helps. Even if it was at the beginning "bad for business".
Airbus is a major exporter for the EU and they won't simply allow the press to raise this issue in a big way if they know it will be bad for business
Now this is a cynical and presumptuous statement. Freedom of the press in Europe salutes!
Begs the question what other issues in your view could possibly not be allowed to get public attention by Airbus then?
