Strictly speaking, the 787 is not an engineering failure. Like
anything complex and new it has a few issues. So far these issues
haven't caused any fatalities.

But, the then-new EU Airbus airliner (A320) did have mostly
fatalities on an opening day mess-up, back on June 26, 1988, at
Mulhouse-Habsheim Airport. Â Airbus's A380 had terrible delays, too.

  Irrevelant.

  It did not acquire the REPUTATION for being dangerous.


And the A320 didn't?

That's all-important.

That's all that counts.

The 787 is *done*.


I *way* doubt that.


Put it this way ... *I* won't fly on one.
