Boeing needs to fly some of their planes on routes where these incidents occurred.

Aerospace giant Boeing Co. has asked the Federal Aviation Administration to let it begin test flights on its grounded 787 Dreamliner passenger jet.

The new plane has been grounded since Jan. 16 by the FAA because of numerous incidents and high-profile fires involving the onboard lithium-ion batteries. Investigators around the world are looking into the matter.

The company disclosed its request for in-flight testing Monday in an email.

“Boeing has submitted an application to conduct test flights, and it is currently under evaluation by the FAA,” said Marc Birtel, a company spokesman, who would not comment further.

The FAA is reportedly looking into Boeing request, but would not comment....

Why didn't they actually carry out sincere tests of this plane before they sold it. What did they do take it up and then land it? That wasn't very smart. Boeing's CEO won't provide enough money for the fuel in the budget? Afraid a Boeing crew might land somewhere over night and actually have a good time?
If these weren't maiden flights where the failure occurred then Boeing needs to put some miles on at least two separate planes before it comes off the tarmac globally. I won't trust the plane until it has been put through the exact miles and altitudes, turns, landings and take offs as the planes that failed. 
This is a no brainer. 
No pretty please. 
PROOF.
