The new stuff will never work
Long before the interweb got going I was involved with the introduction to service of the Airbus A320.
As with all new aircraft problems happened and they had to be resolved, rumours abounded about the C of A being withdrawn and all kinds of problems that would cost £££££€€€€€€€$$$$$$$$ to fix.
I see a lot of parallels with what was said in the industry about the A320 back then and the B787 now, the only difference is one of communication now with a few taps of the keyboard rubbish from the uninformed can travel the world as conjecture to be built on by others who rehash it fact.
One only has to see the utter rubbish written on the thread about the B787 that was repaired by Boeing at LHR following a fire.
The fact of the matter is that if the keyboard experts had the internet available during the introduction of the A320 they would have been telling us that the A320 would fail and be consigned to history as an interesting fly by wire footnote following the closure of the production line with twenty or so units being built.
