I was in Chile last week and the LAN CHILE airlines people told me that they are operating the 787 very carefully, only on short domestic flights, and short international flights to Buenos Aires (1:45 hours) perhaps over to Lima and back only 3:30 hours away (and various airports along the route in case. They expect to gather sufficient experience and of course CONFIDENCE in the beast and then release it for long range non-stop to Madrid, NY and Los Angeles; when?, maybe in three months, perhaps four. That is my kind of airline.
selective media coverage! plane crashes and for the next ten days we hear about all the other GA crashes... then nothing... 787 problem... and now we hear about every little glitch... there are 3-4 of these type events ((airliner diverts because of a mechanical issue) every single day... media only covers aviation when something "sensational" happens and then fades away to other stories... soon they'll be tired of 787 and move on to something else......
Every Aircraft has problems now and again..however with this being a 787..the media makes a big deal out of it ! They are turning it into the 'Edsel' of the airways by doing so !

Nothing but problems with this plane
Aaron...don't be sooooo RASH. Come on...Boeing is still making the best airliners in the world. You're being to quick to judge. Let the ignorant media do their thing and poorly at that, while Boeing works through this engine problem.
It could also be an electrical glitch, this also happened on a Tokyo flight not sure if it was the same plane, either way boeing and rolls royce need to check it out. Boeing is the best, but the 787 doesn't fill me with confidence yet.
It could very well be but FYI: all 787's are GE powered. See Pat Bell's comment above but here is the biggest part of it "All United 787's are currently GEnx-1B powered."
I meant all United 787's
