No one doubts the Boeing Dreamliner problems need to be solved.
Whether it is lithium-ion batteries thermal runaway or the entire system dealing with those batteries, a solution must be found.

Boeing has asked for the FAA to conduct test flights.
Beginning test flights before the battery type has been replaced or the system replaced may be precipitous. Is adapting the system going to prevent future problems?
