Default Dreamliner and 747-8 engine issues

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to direct airlines to avoid flying Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 747-8 jumbo jets with General Electric engines near thunderstorms after some planes experienced ice buildup in their engines.
The U.S. regulator said it would issue an airworthiness directive (AD) this week for the airplanes powered by GE's GEnx engines.
'The AD is an interim action to make sure pilots avoid icing conditions that could affect engine power and possibly damage the engine,' said FAA.
Boeing can't seem to catch a break.
