It does raise some profound questions doesn't it, the more it's looked at, the worse it seems to get. Seems to be evolving into differing circumstantial interpretations:
- As a passenger, probably would rather just not fly on a plane that has any doubt around it's engines. Choice is a fine thing, AIR needs to provide the alternatives or competitors will.
- As an airline, play it down "it's all ok", schedule alternate aircraft and modify flights to accomodate restrictions - for those who will still fly on the Dreamliner. Trust them?
- As an investor, asking 'is this a biggie'? Not sure really, the market seems to be either slow to take on the implications or just not too concerned (so far), as it hasn't seemed too concerned since the situation began.
Doesn't quite fit with a volatile share, maybe investors are the possums in the headlights?
