The SQ 787-10s

[9V-SPL]

Wow, SQ241|28APR (SIN-SYD) is scheduled to be operated by B787-10 (9V-SCC).

[sbs2716g]

Lately SQ seems to like to deal with batches of either 19 or 20 aircraft when they make decisions, e.g. SWA-T, STA-S, SKA-T all come to mind. From memory I believe SMU was an add-on due to deployment changes they made as SMA-T were arriving. They may have done all the budgeting and contracts for the first 20 787 interiors but are waiting to see how they go before committing to more, possibly.

Maybe they will fit some PE seat as well to the balance 787-10.

Anyone knows if the 2 787s that are grounded due to the RR engines issue, are still on the ground as have been like 2 weeks already.

Still grounded. SCD/SCI. SCI is only 2 month old. Not sure why they choose to ground this plane

According to this press release, SQ has put aside money for cabin fitting for only 20 78Js.

Besides the 2 that got transferred to Scoot, could we see further changes to the remaining 27, especially with the concerns of Charleston's production quality?

With Scoot cutting HNL and SQ still needing to replace ~35 older generation regional aircraft, I doubt we will see more than a few orders transferred to Scoot.

Concerning. And apparently systemic.

Yup, I saw that documentary years ago and not much seems to have improved. Scary and while not wanting to sound alarmist it is almost that these days one has to consider aircraft type and engines not for comfort and latest seat products but for safety.

Boeing will overcome these issues and I stil believe in Boeing and their aircrafts. Althought there are some issues however do think the media have oversensationalise things as they often do in almost every major news.

The US have made their bed and now it's time to lie in it. They've developed a corporate culture with a cavalier attitude to regulation and a focus on rewarding only administrators who prioritise short-term profits over all else. You can't build a strong organisation if everyone is told to think the same way and now the weaknesses of this approach are inevitably appearing for all to see.

Add to that the shift in the role of regulatory bodies from regulating to promoting the industry. The trust in the entire system is being seriously eroded, 737 MAX as a sad example of this profit above all culture.

Not particularly comforting, is it?
