787 Woes
Have you all been hearing this stuff on the news? Evidently, the 787 has turned out to be a huge piece of crap. According to Fox this morning, a Jap 787 had to land due to another battery fire. They've now grounded the whole fleet.
It's real sad that the French build a better plane than we can.

That's because "We" (experienced, unionized Boeing workers in Everet) didn't build it.
Boeing decided to outsource most of it, that's why it was delayed for 3 years, nothing fit right when the outsourced work came back. So they built a plant in a "Right to Work" state, just to get around using Union workers to build it.
As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.
Pay peanuts, expect a circus.

Actually it was only when nonunion labor got the task that things started to go right. Non union is faaaaaaar superior to union made crap.

Re. the "non Union is far superior" post above:
Yeah, I guess that's why the 777, 767, 757 and 737's all had worse problems and turned out to be such a huge POS...
