gonna cost a lot of money and inconvenience a lot of passengers. if a non-emergency, wouldn't they loop in dispatch and maybe a Boeing engineer before turning it around? makes you think, better to wait til they work out kinks before taking one.

Can't work out all the bugs without running the thing you built.

yeah, I hear you. it's just, I don't know that they turn the plane around just because the 'check engine' light came on... and whether it's an abundance of caution or not, for myself, sounds like a situation I'd rather avoid as a passenger.
