I remember when they published the results of the investigations... I was on a MD11 flying BOM-ZRH reading the NZZ report about the electrical fire and all night the lav in front kept flushing (uncontrollably, it was closed after inspection by a number of cabin crew and the FO) and the neon cabin light above my head flickering in a bad way. I kept telling myself that I'm flying a quality aircraft maintained my persnickety swiss engineers but couldn't shake the feeling.
