Larry, I don't see a conflict there between the FAA and Boeing.

If the FAA is pointing out a potential vulnerability in Boeing's
design, what would you call it?

Where is the FAA pointing out a potential vulnerability?

Wired.com quotes the FAA as saying that. See above.

Larry: Please quote the portion of that wired.com that you think
constitutes a conflict between the FAA and Boeing. Frankly, I don't
see a conflict. I see Boeing and the FAA ACO working on certifying
something new. I don't see where that document claims the FAA
and Boeing disagree on what needs to be done, whether anything
needs to be done, or any disagreement. The only conflict apparent
in that wired.com article comes from the Loveless.




The special condition is intended to address an area where
the FAA certification requirements don't quite cover.

And it appears that Airbus is doing their best to point out the
potential shortcomings of the Dreamliner design in meeting the special
conditions to the FAA.

I would expect Boeing and Airbus are always doing that.
