So, hoopla on the back of a beleaguered company? Possibly. Problem is, Boeing did hide stuff before, so now they are automatically perceived as possibly guilty.

I cannot fathom what it would mean if this would be true for aviation in general. Airbus would not be able to compensate for all these B787 now circling the globe.

I would be careful until this is substantiated, if only for that reason. But I would also watch like a hawk any future product that Boeing comes up with, just like it should have been.
