“You are saying that Boeing is so good and superior that their new planes know no snitches.” Please show me where I have ever said that. I don’t believe I have ever stated that the 777 didn’t have any problems. The thread titile is: “Qantas grounds A380 fleet.” I don’t recall that happening in the case of the 777. .

You clearly stated that the 777 issues were minor in comparison. When, as I have posted, there were problems of similar natures with planes having diverted because of decompression, planes had to be grounded because of major engine issues. They may not be the exact same issues, but there certainly were not minor in comparison. The letter of UA to Boeing, a highly unusual exercice, listed a whole list of other issues.

Stuff that happen to all newly inducted planes, and whether you care to admit it or not this affects Boeing as much as Airbus.

As far as who is embarrassed, I’ll bet the passenger service people who notified that pax that their travel plans were interrupted were embarrassed for their airline. And I’ll bet Airbus was a little embarrassed also, if I had built the airplane, I would have been.

Got stuck 8 hours in Amsterdam last year because the KLM/747 Ihad issues after we had boarded. Got stuck one entire day in Guadeloupe (not that I minded) a year ago because the Air France B777 to CDG had major issues and was grounded. Were Boeing embarassed in any way ?? No, because this happens day in, day out.
