While its a "setback" does anyone know what the cause was? Was that door or around it redesigned in any way? That seems like one of the least likely things to be redone. So it *seems* like there was just a mistake or defect in that one part on that one plane that one time. If that's the case it would just end up being just a reasonable delay one would think.

Hope they get to the bottom of it.

Hopefully it was a redesign like a bigger door or something. Otherwise Wouldn’t it just follow that this could be an issue with the cargo doors on all 777s?

They actually don’t have to do that. It depends on when the door failed and what they determine was the cause. As a example the A380 wing failed testing but the failure was at something like 148% verses the required 150%. No redesign was required. I understand the door failure was at a similar percentage. It may be a very simple or even non existent fix or it could be complicated. Boeing seems to indicate it’s not a big issue.
just saw Ed is predicting 5B in profit again this year...with a similar amount to last year, not too optimistic that our profit sharing will increase from last year...thoughts?

At the SLC flight ops meeting they said the profit sharing pool would be much higher for this year than last.

My understandings night is we are on track for over 6 billion in profits and a substantial increase in PS. I want 16.3% in the pool. Our CEO may have been quoting post tax numbers. PS is based on pretax.
