The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The pilots’ group request is not evidence of a Boeing 787 systems failure or of fault by Air India. Until the AAIB completes its investigation, framing this as a material operational or reputational escalation risks overstating an unverified allegation. A broader technical review could also be routine investigative diligence after a major accident rather than a sign that investigators have identified a fleetwide defect.
