Do all Ba 787's have this RR engine issue?

I spoke to someone at BA and they confirmed it's not possible as engines and seats will of been salvaged.
One thing that will probably happen though is the older 747's in service will have retirement delayed.
Shame this is happening, BA were short of aircraft as it was...

“I have no issue with Boeing, who have been proactive and supportive … I am however, very unhappy with Rolls-Royce,” Walsh said, via email. “They have yet to give us confidence that they are on top of the problem.”
I don't think Walsh would say that unless he (and his company) was actually suffering significant problems. While Walsh is never shy in saying what he thinks when he thinks it will gain him a significant advantage, he's also not one to start a public fight with a major partner unless he's got serious problems with them.
This illustrates my point that Rolls' main problem today is not an engineering problem but a trust problem.

i wouldn't get too panicked yet, the 21st of June is still a few days away
A question from me now however, is Los Angeles likley to be re-instated on time on the 787? I believe it was due for July. Looking at travelling in October so wanted to see it would definitely be back by then.

On 11/06 the BA280/281 was in service as usual from 01/07 - over the last week it's been dropped and now commences on 06/07
Is there a way of finding out when these services were cancelled? Is it on EF ?

I'm sounding obsessed with this !!! However very reluctant to pay EUR300 change fee (and a J downgrade) for my flight on 06/07 - the day they currently commence again. I WANT CANCELLATION !!!

I'm due to fly LHR->SJC this Friday 22nd in CW. So far my flight shows as happening. A colleague of mine was on the same route a couple weeks back and was re-reouted through Chicago but with some 2 weeks prior notice. Given my flight is 3 days away I assume thats a sign its probably happening.
