I thought about that too, but the fact it leveled off for a while, seems to make that less likely!

No one died!

So we'll wait until 140+ or 170+ more people are killed in the next crash. Come on Listen to yourself. The FAA finally did the right thing. At the very least it will lite a fire in Boeing to come up with a workable solution as soon as they can. Remember how fast they solved the Lithium Battery problem on the 787 once it was grounded.

Once there is a diagnosed system design flaw that caused a fatal accident in any plane as there was in the Lion Air crash, it is irresponsible not to ground the aircraft type until A. It's fixed, or B. there is a reasonable workaround to the problem. I said this after the Lion Air Crash. Now we add another 149 deaths in what most likely will turn out to be the cause of the this accident. Most Countries have now done what needed to be done to prevent this from happening again. Is the US really going to wait for a third fatal accident, before it acts? Not grounding this plane at this point until the problem is resolved, is nothing less then playing Russian Roulette with peoples lives.

...but one or more in her family did, They made a fraudulent claim of AA leaving the disabled woman at the airport alone all night when it was only 45 minutes, and received a refund from AA in return. That makes it a crime. Now they should have just stick to the actual truth that it was only 45 minutes, which is still unacceptable as the AA spokes person said, and they probably still would have gotten the refund. Also since she was left alone, if the Family member didn't come, she may have ended up there over night anyway.

Now the question is did it fail because of a systemic design failure, or a one off bad part, that wasn't properly maintained and repaired/replaced? Especially since there was a reported failure the previous flight.

You were closer the first time, if it was a 120C the unit cost is between 300000 and 400000. If it was a 120D then the cost is 1.786 million

I think they're referring to the effect on the 787's production schedule due to the resources being diverted to complete inspections of the current affected engines in revenue service.

Allegiant handles it's maintenance through a 3rd party service provider named AAR.

It's looking more like it may be the first front line fighter aircraft to be replaced by it's predecessor...
