I am confident that the combined engineering and investigative forces of Boeing, FAA, NTSB, subcontractors and foreign authorities WILL find and correct any problems, probably sooner than later. I'm sure that Boeing has its best working on this and cost be damned; the very survival of their new airplane depends upon getting it, quickly. If the Lithium batteries get bumped in favor of an older technology and with some weight penalty, so be it. <br />You mentioned Captain Jim, preparing to take off for Japan when he learned that his airplane was grounded. What an awful way to get a day off! I visited his blog and read his most current (if stale?) post. Yup, a truly Safety-First fellow (and an excellent writer). Sadly, he does not post often. Given his recent transition to a very new type aircraft and his obvious bent for getting it right -The First Time- I can understand his lack of time for posting. As noted somewhere on his page, (to paraphrase), "... when flying airplanes, there are no Do-Overs..." That's the kind of driver that I want in row zero, seat A, the next time I fly. Regards, -C.
