Boeing Has An Airplane Problem, Not a PR Problem
The 787 Dreamliner has been vexed since its inception. The company was convinced by one or more management consulting firms to outsource design and production of the 787’s components. While this idea might make sense for sourcing coffeemakers, it was a nonsense approach to assembling perhaps the most complicated and potentially dangerous machines shy of nuclear reactors.

I know "seconding" isn't correct, I meant to write "second". Maybe “seconding” is mentioned in one of those manuals talked about in the "Forbes" article on the 787!!!
Who amongst you would NOT fly the 787 just now? Why not? I'm scheduled on it in a few weeks, and I'm not terribly worried ... for now.
I'm flying long haul on the 787 tomorrow and looking forward to it. Experienced ANA's inaugural at KSJC today -- job well done!

Mainstream media has learned from the tabloids!
The seconding being the 787 has suffered two serious fires one on the flight-deck during a test flight, and now the second incident with JAL's 787 at BOS. Fires are scary things on airplanes!!! I could stand to be corrected but to my knowledge the 757, 767, and 777 never suffered from any incidents where fire was involved during their development and beginning stages of commercial service.
Fires are scary things on airplanes!!! I really hope Boeing can get the 787 program back on track and the incident at BOS will be the last involving fire!!!
