Boeing is not going to come out of this 737/787 debacle rosy.
Meanwhile, at the Paris Airshow, Airbus sales SOARED to Boeing's VERY mediocre signing of intentions/sales and leases.
Early on with the B787 there were a number of forced landings due system battery fires. Boeing's fix was to put the offending lithium cells into a "fire-resistant" box!
And the FAA thought it was an acceptable solution
I also recall an exec with my previous employer once stated during a flight deck visit, that despite various safety issues being discussed, the Company could survive a "hull loss". It was put bluntly to this prat by the PIC "so..will you and your family be on that flight?? "

Why is it, when you describe this "prat", I think of Carter Burke from Aliens? Credit to the PIC for keeping his wits.
