- ocdtrekkie 8y agoIf they believe the 787 is, on whole, safer than the planes they're replacing, arguably the case could be made the variance is requested for the best safety for consumers. Not that I'm qualified to answer whether or not that's the case here, but it's arguably something the FAA would need to consider.
- mark-r 8y agoThey'd have a really hard time making that case given the proven track record of the existing fleet.
