Apparently they have a burn-in period.

Isn’t this similar to the problems with the batteries on the F-35?

Is anyone else surprised that there is an airline based out of Ethiopia?
The fire was contained in the cockpit where the crew were grilling Nubian ibex.
That would not surprise me. I was leaving Europe once when an Ethopian lady was packing groceries in trash bags to take on board. THey refused to let her on our flight. Some of the bags we leaking . We all wondered what was in there. Guess it was raw ibex.
How do we know they were not grilling a goat?

I presume that Sic Willie will also report on every 787 that does not have an on board fire. Oh, I forgot “unfair and imbalanced”.
CNSYD – Last time I checked, airplanes were not supposed to catch on fire.
Are automobiles? How about trains? The only SURE way to guarantee no fire on any mode of transportation is to ground and sequester them all. Everything in life involves risk. Until the CAUSE of the fire is determined anything else is mere speculation beyond the fact that yes there was a fire. How about the 777 at SFO? You have been silent about it. Is that because you don’t have a tie to Haley and the SC Legislature?
What the hell is all this goddamn chit chat with GT and CNSTD, oops CNSYD
I thought we weren’t allowed to feed the monkeys
Just kidding fellas, just kidding,

What
If he gets off like this over a fire…I bet FITS will $#!* all over himself if one would crash…
FITS is one FILTHY, American-hating, commerce-loathing Son of a B!*#h….all because he so desperetly wants Vincent Sheheen as Gov.
And remember: Democrats Hate South Carolina, and you as much as this miserable @$$-hole does….
Dude, I love you. Seriously. I love you.
I once got a call from an angered man I had interviewed, who told me: “You wrote what I said, not what I meant.”
Remember FITS: When you write, your words ARE what you are…regardless of how effective, or not, you are at accurate expression…
You may be representing yourself as something that you are not. If so, that is not the reader’s fault…
I knew you were a news dude. I just knew it. Now I like you even more.
Why did we piss a billion away on a plane that can’t quit smoking? Will we get that billion return?
Reads like the human shish kabob discussed several weeks back is right around the corner

The fire prompted a shutdown of the world’s busiest airport – causing “major delays” for travelers.
Ummm, the world’s busiest airport is in Ethiopia? Who knew?
Reading comprehension problem or never been outside the US……Heathrow is in London…..which is in England, not Ethiopia!
Neither. Read it too quickly while multi-tasking. Although the one time I was in London I flew into GATWICK.

I’m guessing that 787s will continue to “catch fire” until the Charleston plant gets a union.
Um, it was engineered at union-run Boeing Field in Washington and likely was built there. These were a few of the first 787s produced, and they weren’t built in Charleston thanks to the NLRB fiasco.
You are correct. However, anything that can kill a 787 contract keeps a 787 from being built in Charleston. Charleston gets spillover. I’m not saying it makes sense, but what union’s actions do, these days?

Poor Sic Willie. The batteries were NOT the cause and the planes have NOT been grounded.
