Re: ANA and JAL Ground Boeing 787 Fleets After Emergency
#2This is disconcerting. I'm pretty close to Everett plant so I see the plain white 787's first test flights (they just finished another one yesterday). For those of us who work on software, even complex distributed apps, the new plane is an unfathomably complex undertaking.
The Seattle Times commenters are a mix of Boeing employees, rational outside observers and angry lunatics.

#3Not just ANA and JAL, the FAA has grounded all 787s in the US: http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/16/3884428/faa-grounds-all-bo...

#4All new planes have their issues. They'll take a few weeks (or hopefully days) to figure out what's ailing it & it'll be back to its beloved skies in no time.
I hope Boeing has enough financial reserves to weather the storm of revenues-lost liabilities sure to hit them...& life goes on.
I would fly that plane tomorrow if I could. I'm sure the FAA is being extra-careful.

Cockpit wiring issues will likely take more than just a few weeks to fix and be re-certified. There are miles and miles of cable in the front of an aircraft, just figuring out what went wrong, engineering a fix, fixing all the planes and getting the fix certified for passenger flights is a fair sized job. Nobody is going to take any chances with stuff like this.

I think that as the technology (i.e. software, testing, etc.) improves that people expect more reliable product. It makes sense to hold the aircraft to higher standards as they are flown less and less by humans.

#7Looks like a good time to short Boeing.

although less than previous aircraft from my understanding. I think i remember saying that the 787 Wiring harness was simplified by replacing alot of cables and wires with a Ethernet like bus for data.

Only if you knew the investigation was going to take abnormally long, or if it results in a complete recall and loss of 787. Otherwise the damage from this is going to be priced into your options.

Last thing I heard this was a battery issue. Have they already narrowed it down to cockpit wiring or are you just speculating based on your knowledge of aeronautics & place circuitry ?
