And it goes on and on in Seattle...

While Boeing continues installation of the 787 wing fix, engineers have returned to the drawing board to redesign a crucial portion of the reinforcement, Flightglobal affiliate FlightBlogger reports.
As a result, sources say the 2009 first flight target could be in jeopardy as engineers work to redesign the fix for four remaining wing stringers.
Boeing announced on 23 June that it had cancelled plans for first flight due to structural deficiencies requiring reinforcement at the side-of-body of the aircraft where the wing meets the centre wing box.
The company began installing the existing reinforcements on the static structural and flight test 787s on 23 September.
