…There are still minor glitches that occur every day. It’s just that they don’t result in flight cancellations…

Senior Air India Executive

……Air India should not go all out on expansion given the current mood,…. “hold the deliveries till the time all issues are not sorted out and teething problems resolved,…..Till then expansion should be curtailed. And Boeing should take steps to instill passenger confidence and be asked to pay for the loss of passenger confidence.”……

…Boeing and the 13 airlines that fly the 787 are not parking their planes while investigators in Britain search for the cause of the fire….. Boeing and its customers are taking a cautious wait-and-see approach…. The answer is that Boeing and its customers have not seen enough evidence to suggest this type of fire could happen on other Dreamliners     ( CNBC .com )  http://www.cnbc.com/id/100886599
