If it spreads to UAL it could cancel the system bid and definitely hurt hiring.

What a piece of work. Your worrying about hiring, enjoy your stay at the regionals. You are not welcome to play with the big boys. LOL

What happens when you outsource a plane!!! 30% of the 787 is foreign made, compared to 5% when the 747 was built. Hmmmm, Kinda goes right with our economy!!

JAL just joined the parking party. Funny how these things ran reasonably well for the Japanese until Jeffery got his hands on a few. How utterly embarrassing is the UAL 787 propaganda before the safety video now?!? Hey Jeff its Karma again, LEAVE THIS INDUSTRY FOREVER!

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's two biggest airlines grounded all their Boeing 787 aircraft for safety checks Wednesday after one was forced to make an emergency landing in the latest blow for the new jet.
All Nippon Airways said a cockpit message showed battery problems and a burning smell was detected in the cockpit and the cabin, forcing the 787 on a domestic flight to land at Takamatsu airport in western Japan.
It said a later inspection of the plane found leaking electrolyte and burn marks around the main battery, located in an area below the cockpit.






Different battery this time, sounds like it could have been really bad. Good job to the ANA crew for getting it on the ground in one piece.

But, it's a "quantum leap in technology." I thought "if you want to be the world's leading airline, you had to have the world's leading airplane."

Being the first commercial A/C to use Lithium Ion batteries is looking like its back firing. Hopefully the problem turns out to be with the batteries or chargers and not A/C design. If it is then its a quick fix and plane fly's on.

I love it. American workers are proudly saying "We told you so." Plastic outsourced pile of junk.

100% was designed and engineered by Boeing folks. They aren't currently having manufacturing issues.
