Well, that happens if you are a launching customer. Same goes for new cars. Never buy within the first one (or better) 2 years after its introcuction.When we got the brand new CRJs we had increadible amounts of malfunctions and at least 30% of our landings within the first years where flaps-up landings.

That will be fixed in SP1.

Never underestimate an airline pilot's ability to break things. (Applies to students too)

Or FS addon aircraft!

Lol, so true!

Well LOT is the European launch customer for the 787. Fortunately their 767 crews know a little about this sort of problem.

Maybe better yet. There will be a hotfix launched soon by Boeing to All Nippon that will fix many issues, such as landing gear failures, low frame rates *cough cough*, etc.
