I am sure they will work it out or switch back to NiCads. The aircraft is meeting all specs for range and fuel consumption. The numbers are compelling and its going to be a game changer. Sadly my airline does not seem to want any.
Its also a aircraft built to integrate the pilot into the flying. Airbus attempts to isolate the pilot. Two very different approach but I know which one I prefer.

Game Changer! Love it! Only until the other 800 are delivered and most of the airlines have similar casm.
