UPDATE 23 APRIL
The Dreamliner will re-enter service once the modifications have been made. But Boeing still doesn’t know what caused the problem. Am I too cynical in believing that Boeing can’t afford the Dreamliner to fail so they have done as much as they can in the hope that this minimises any problem rather than curing it? And regulators have abetted this fudge by allowing it to fly again.
