Broken toilets, other glitches ground Japan Airlines Dreamliner

Those things are happening as if we have no other aircraft type commercially operating nowadays. It is one more episode of B787 and its endless course of headache-causing operation.

Turning back two hours after departure is an operational loss but almost a must. I can not imagine that flight continuing the trip to Tokyo with a fuselage-long queue of passengers who are waiting to use the only one functioning toilet available on-board.

The name given to B787, Dreamliner, is not realistic anymore. What about nightmare-liner, as a realistic alternative?

FAA pegs cost of 787 battery fix at $465,000 per plane

The amount of 464,678 US$ will not be the cost of fixing the batteries of B787, but it would be the cost of carelessness and wrong technical assumptions.
Boeing should compensate B787 operators for their financial losses incurred during the period of grounding the aircraft.
For example, Air India was having high hopes for using the advantage of B787’s fuel efficiency in its long-haul flights. However, the carrier has invited bids for the sale and leaseback of all its newly acquired Boeing 787 aircraft from prospective lessors by the first week of February.

Exclusive photos: Inside the Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner unveiled during the world premiere in Everett, Washington on July 8, 2007 is truly a dream. The question is about its materialize-ability considering the repeated delays. Was the delay announced on the 23rd of June the last one?
The mother Boeing is seemingly facing hard time delivering the baby B787.
Will it be a natural delivery or do we need a cesarean section?
The pregnancy term has been extended already many times. Is the fetus still alive?
